Using TinyMCE with Django, I see ImportError: Cannot import name simplejson
Question: I'm using Django and TinyMCE on Windows. When I run the following in the
command prompt:

>
>     python manage.py runserver
>  

I get

>
>     ImportError: Cannot import name simplejson
>  

Below is the entire console output including traceback that I got (from

Has anyone got any tips?

### Update

People have suggested that I use `easy_install simplejson`, but I still get
the error - I've added the output following that stage to my screenshot and
the console output above.


Answer: From django 1.7

> The module django.utils.simplejson will be removed. The standard library
> provides json which should be used instead.

To install

    
    
    easy_install simplejson
