    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.
