Thats why i said it is just an ugly hack :) Anyway, I've just cloned
the qmp-unstable tree to run some tests and report back

I thought of that, but the thing is that, in Debian at least, there is
python-json for python 2.5 which does not work, but can be imported,
and also python-simplejson. On python2.6 json module is included and
there is a package python2.6-simplejson also. Anyway, we can't check
what every distribution does with modules, so I think Avi's solution
works most of the times. In the end it is just a test script :)

Thanks for the comments :)
