Yes - I wouldn't like to do this for the 'core' parsing. How about
changing so that rather than passing in a module, you just pass in the
dump/load function? Then cclib wouldn't have to do any of this. The
user would do "from simplejson import dumps", and then pass "dumps" as
a parameter to write_json.
