   An update that has one recommended fix can now be installed.

Description:

   This update provides python-simplejson 3.8.2, which brings many fixes and
   enhancements:

   - Fix issue with iterable_as_array and indent option
   - New iterable_as_array encoder option to perform lazy serialization of
     any iterable objects, without having to convert to tuple or list
   - Do not cache Decimal class in encoder, only reference the decimal module
   - No longer trust custom str/repr methods for int, long, float subclasses:
     these instances are now formatted as if they were exact instances of
     those types
   - Fix reference leak when an error occurs during dict encoding
   - Fix dump when only sort_keys is set
   - Automatically strip any UTF-8 BOM from input to more closely follow the
     latest specs
   - Fix lower bound checking in scan_once / raw_decode API
   - Consistently reject int_as_string_bitcount settings that are not
     positive integers
   - Add int_as_string_bitcount encoder option
   - Fix potential crash when encoder created with incorrect options
   - Documentation updates.
