Fix deprecated simplejson module in django 1.5

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Django 1.5 has deprecated simplejson module. There is a backward 
incompatibility among simplejson versions. Specifically, namedtuple_as_object 
is a keyword argument to simplejson.JSONEncoder that was added in simplejson 
2.2. The latest version of simplejson that was merged into the python standard 
library is 2.0.9 and Django 1.4 shipped with simplejson 2.0.7 bundled. This 
means that nowhere in stock Django are there any references to this keyword. 
This wouldn't be a huge problem, except that Django subclasses 
django.utils.simplejson.JSONEncoder as 
django.core.serializers.json.DjangoJSONEncoder, and naturally doesn't know 
about this keyword argument.

Please see <a 
href="https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/18023#comment:10">here</a> for more 
details.

To fix this problem, simply use json instead of simplejson. However, 
wadofstuff-django-serializers name the serializer module json.py, so the file 
can't import the system json and import itself instead. The module name, 
therefore, needs to be changed. Following that train of thoughts, attached 
please find a patch for /wadofstuff/django/serializers/json.py

Thank you.
