To not worry about your Python version and (simple) portability:

try:
    import json
except ImportError:
    import simplejson as json

please use the stable python 2.7.x that would solve your issue and after that try using json

>>> import json

also you can use dir() command to check the methods and classes that comes with the json module in python programming, using the dir()

>>> dir(json)
['JSONDecoder', 'JSONEncoder', '__all__', '__author__', '__builtins__', '__doc__', '__file__', '__name__', '__package__', '__path__', '__version__', '_default_decoder', '_default_encoder', 'decoder', 'dump', 'dumps', 'encoder', 'load', 'loads', 'scanner']

as idjaw commented above.

You need to use:

import json

(Not jason)

Also, you need to use Python 2.6 or greater.

You are using Python 2.4.3 and json seems to be new in python 2.6, please update python.
