Installation fails with python 2.7.3

Critic fails to install with Python 2.7.3 with an unhelpful error message. Upgrading to 2.7.5 solved the issue. 2.7.3 is the default on Ubuntu 12.04, which is the latest LTS release, so I guess supporting it would make sense. Otherwise the version check in the installation script should be updated.

$ python install.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "install.py", line 44, in <module>
    import json
ImportError: No module named json
$ python --version
Python 2.7.3

[mo]

• the json module was added in python 2.6
• any python 2.7 version should be supported by critic
• we have automated testing on ubuntu 12.04.2 and tests are passing

So it "should" definitely work... did you install that python version globally using apt-get or did you use some virtualenv or other kind of tool? If you do "sudo python --version" what version does it say?

That's weird. I'm attempting to install Critic in a docker image, it seems like something is wrong in that environment.
