Python 3.3 with JSON ?

How to get Python 3.3 to handle JSON
without having to install a newer Python
version, which requires also a newer
C/C++ version and thereby even a newer OS ?

Tried to install Python 3.10 but importing
request lib required a newer C/C++.

Our reason to use Python 3.3 is the thoroughly
tested and fast multiprocessing library
installed to it and our Python apps using it.

Can't upgrage to newer untested and
slower Python versions which also
come with too slow and uncompatible
multiprocessing libraries.

How about Python 3.3 client and
PHP 8.0 JSON server solution ?

dragonxi you don't have to do anything special to get Python 3.3 to handle JSON, as JSON support is part of the Python standard library: https://docs.python.org/release/3.3.7/library/index.html

There's also no concern about newer dependencies, Python 3.3 will build on our CentOS 7 servers using the system libraries with no problem. Instructions are available at: HOWTO install a newer (or older) version of Python

If you need a PHP 8 JSON server, then create a PHP app via your dashboard (or use your own PHP stack), set its PHP version to 8, drop your server code into the app directory, and route the app to a site.

Regarding the PHP thing, we can't take credit for that - we're using 3rd-party PHP packages provided by the Remi Repo. 🙂
