Allow "-m json" instead of "-m json.tool"
Feature or enhancement
Proposal:
This is a feature proposal for allowing python3 -m json to work in addition to python -m json.tool and softly deprecating the use of python3 -m json.tool.
I made a branch to see what these changes might look like.
Here is a separate branch which issues a DeprecationWarning .
However, since json.tool will continue working that warning may cause more hassle for end users than is worthwhile.
I think the no-warning approach may be more sensible.
Has this already been discussed elsewhere?
