This is a new spec, so I guess the question is whether it's primarily "JSON with some more features" or "subset of Python syntax in the same way that JSON is a subset of JS". If it's the former, then yes, it'd use "true" and "false", and you'd have to define them; but if the latter, the spec would simply use "True" and "False". But being able to guarantee that JSON decodes correctly with this parser (ie make it a guaranteed superset of JSON) would be of value. ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
