using generators - missing iterencode _one_shot argument

[mdobrzanski]

The _one_shot was recently removed. Is there an another way to disable use of c_make_encoder at runtime?

The only idea I have is it to disable it globally with simplejson.encoder.c_make_encoder = None but then it's always disabled and that is not perfect either.

That option allowed to use generators and stream json output without allocating too much memory.

import types
import simplejson


def gen():
    yield 1
    yield 2
    yield 3


encoder = simplejson.JSONEncoder(iterable_as_array=True)
output = encoder.iterencode(gen(), _one_shot=False)

assert isinstance(output, types.GeneratorType)

print(''.join(output))

There's no public interface for this (and there never really has been), but any setting for indent other than None will force the use of the Python implementation. The tests use a private function simplejson._toggle_speedups(False) which disables the C extension globally.
