1) Please don't top post. Put your answer after the parts you are 
replying to.

2) Is Kevin sending his e-mails only to you? I don't get them and they 
aren't in the mailing list archive either.

3) Please copy the traceback you get into your message. Otherwise you 
will reduce the amount of people who are willing to help you because not 
everyone likes to go to an external website just to read them.
So here's it:

 >>> import json
 >>> import pprint
 >>> json_data = open('temp.json')
 >>> data = json.load(json_data)
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
   File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/json/__init__.py", line 290, in load
     **kw)
   File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/json/__init__.py", line 338, in loads
     return _default_decoder.decode(s)
   File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/json/decoder.py", line 365, in decode
     obj, end = self.raw_decode(s, idx=_w(s, 0).end())
   File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/json/decoder.py", line 381, in raw_decode
     obj, end = self.scan_once(s, idx)
ValueError: Expecting property name: line 2 column 1 (char 2)

4) The error message tells you that json.load() can't parse your file 
due to an error at the beginning of line 2. So can you please post the 
first lines of your file?

Bye, Andreas
