Title:
  Unicode prefixes break tests in python-json-schema-validator with
  python-simplejson 3.16.0

Status in json-schema-validator package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  The json-schema-validator tests break under Python 2, when used with
  simplejson 3.16.0. They will also break if/when attempted under Python
  3.

  The underlying simplejson library subtly changes behaviour from 3.15.0
  to 3.16.0. Under Python 2, with simplejson 3.15.0, passing a byte-
  string to simplejson.loads containing a blank JSON-encoded string,
  e.g. simplejson.loads('""') returns a unicode string (u''). However,
  under 3.16.0 this changes to return a byte-string (''). Passing a
  unicode-string to simplejson.loads containing a blank JSON-encoded
  string, e.g. simplejson.loads(u'""') return a unicode string under
  both versions.
