GEdit and JSON formatting

Respected geek @whitemice didn't seem to think this was a big deal.
He's been sitting on this.

[UPDATE: Now he has created the article

You can format & lint a JSON file by creating an "External Tool" in
GEdit which is simply:

#!/bin/sh
python -m json.tool

To do this you need the json tools from https://pypi.python.org/pypi/json_tools/0.1.30.

To install you need python-setuptools from the repos. You will also need get-pip.py prom Python

Once you have the tools and pip installed you need to run sudo pip install json_tools from the json_tools-0.1.30 directory extracted from your earlier download.
