ImportError: No module named simplejson

I am trying to run the default code with the iPhone simulator, and always get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "/Library/Application Support/Titanium/mobilesdk/osx/1.8.1/iphone/builder.py", line 10, in <module> from compiler import Compiler, softlink_for_simulator

File "/Library/Application Support/Titanium/mobilesdk/osx/1.8.1/iphone/compiler.py", line 20, in <module> import simplejson as json

ImportError: No module named simplejson

I don't know what to do… Any ideas?

Mac OSX 10.6.8
Titanium Version: 1.0.8.201201262211
Titanium SDK Version: 1.8.1
iOS SDK 4.3

EUREKA!!! I did it! Just download simplejson from the link Pomu Takeuchi posted, and then open Terminal and go to the folder you decompressed the .tar, typing this:
```
python setup.py build
```
and then
```
python setup.py install
```
If any problem with the installation, try going here

Hope this will help!! Thanks for answering ppl!! CODE STRONG!!

- I had simple JSON installed with easy_install, however it only worked after I installed it manually.

sounds like your SDK download was corrupt… I recommend re-downloading by deleting your /Library/Application Support/Titanium/mobilesdk/osx/1.8.1/ directory and re-starting studio

Try to open Terminal and type:

sudo easy_install simplejson

That's the way I did:
