I think

is_below_py39 = False
if sys.version_info.major < 3 and sys.version_info.minor < 9:
    is_below_py39 = True

Should be moved inside json_loads. Maybe import sys too.

Also, maybe encoding can be dropped even for Python 3.7 and 3.8?

Haha this is really an old PR! I would like to help, but only authorized users are allowed to merge. Maybe you can try rebase in your local environment.

Yes, I merged the PR in my own repository. But I do not give up hope that an authorized user will merge this PR. I just didn't find a better user to mention in this PR 🙂

They did not maintain this for a long time. This branch may be merged decades later :D
