Hi,

According to the log, the problem may be related to the json library,
which is introduced by the patch to convert the completion results
from Python to elisp. What is the version of Python on macOS? AFAIK
the json library is added to the Standard library since version 2.6.
If the library is not available, could you setup a Python virtual
environment containing the library and run the python tests in it?
Thanks!
