Package: python-json
Version: 3.4-1
Severity: normal

Installing python-json causes the directory
/var/lib/python-support/python2.4/json_py-3.4-py2.3.egg-info to be
created.  Note the mismatch between python versions in the containing
directory, and the egg-info name.

This creates issues for the use of json-py under Python 2.4.

Whilst pkg_resources.require() tolerates this, and still finds the
json-py egg, setuptools' easy_install does *not* find it, because it
performs filtering based on Python version declared in egg filenames.

The elementtree, kid, and python-cherrypy packages rename the egg-info
directory to remove the -py2.X tag, avoiding this problem.
