Description
Apparently, the json module does not exist on Python 2.5 and earlier. The code should be adapted so that no error occurs when the json module is absent.
I guess that also other “iact” scripts are affected that use the json module.
I know that Python 2.5 is quite old, but there are still a number of servers around that are running such an old Python version.
Recurrence
No recurrence.

Ok I wasn’t aware of that. Are you suggesting to write an own parser of the json file instead?

I implemented a work around that disables testing and importing of the IACT scripts for Python version 2.5 and older. I’m currently testing this. We may add an information to the documentation that the IACT scripts only work for Python 2.6 and newer.
