Python3.9 compatible

[pancak3]

json.loads removed arg encoding since python 3.9, see 'https://docs.python.org/3.9/library/json.html#json.loads'

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?

Excellent advice! I am going to change it. Thanks!

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
