Ooops...sorry, shiny object distracted me.

No conflict at all.  MIT and BSD (3-clause) are almost identical, and both
are extremely liberal licenses.  jsonwidget is 3-clause BSD.  I say
"BSD-style" only because the term "BSD" doesn't appear anywhere in the
license after the necessary substitution is done.

I've heard good things about "Dive into Python", but I don't have direct
experience with it.  It sounds like a reasonable way to learn Python.  I
learned Python mostly via online sources, but that was after having learned
Perl from "Programming Perl" (aka "the camel book"), so my learning
experience was a lot of "I know how to do X in Perl....how do I do it in
Python?"

Having said that, I just went to the diveintopython.org, and noticed that at
least half a dozen of the links in the TOC are purple for me, so I must have
been hitting it via Google and not realizing it.
