On the Thunderbird Linux builders we are currently getting: ImportError: No module named simplejson when trying to run Thunderbird xpcshell-tests. From looking at bug 837983, we either need to upgrade the Fedora boxes to python2.7, or follow Firefox's switch to running the tests on Ubuntu machines. I'm happy for either, but we need this in time for Gecko 24 which is currently on aurora (preferably before we hit the beta cycle).

We may just need to add a condition to use json if simplejson is not available.

That condition is already present: http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/annotate/c0830a5933e8/testing/mozbase/mozinfo/mozinfo/mozinfo.py#l16 Its the Fedora builders that don't have the necessary support (and unless releng is thinking different, I think we should end up with the same machines as FF, for less diversity).
Depends on: 892032
We don't need to rely directly on the Fedora->Ubuntu upgrade (892032) to fix this issue and can upgrade Python (or whatever is simplest) for now. As standard8 mentioned, it may be easier to wait for Firefox to complete its migration to Ubuntu before Thunderbird makes the switch. I'm not actively working on this bug so I will unassign myself for now in case someone else wants to pick it up.

No longer depends on: 892032
catlee pointed out that the step that runs the xpcshell tests (Started 'bash -c ...') includes /home/cltbld/bin first in its PATH and that there's a python 2.5 install at that location. If we put /usr/bin first in the PATH, we'll use the python 2.6 install which already includes json and simplejson. Sounds like this will be the simplest way forward.

I've deployed simplejson to all fed and fed64 machines using the following script: scp dev-stage01.build.mozilla.org:/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/libraries/linux/simplejson-3.3.0.tar.gz . tar zxf simplejson-3.3.0.tar.gz cd simplejson-3.3.0 python setup.py install python -c "import simplejson" I'll get these added to the post-imaging steps.
