In Python 3, without simplejson, a successful api_post call returns the following exception:
TypeError: the JSON object must be str, not 'bytes'. The reason seems to be that response.content is a bytes literal, which need to be decoded before being passed in to json.loads.

simplejson.loads seems to handle byte literals, but unfortunately, simplejson conflicts with some of the other third party libraries we're using.
