   I should add that I am using Python for Windows 3.6.0 on Win 7 x64. I could not use any other version of Python as otherwise HexChat would not install properly with its interface.

   my solution:
   replace original def save(self) and def load(self) function
   here's my code:

   def save(self):
           """Save alerts data"""
           data = list(alert.export_dict() for alert in self.alerts.values())
           file = open(os.environ['appdata']+r"\hexchat\alerts.conf","wt")
           file.write(json.dumps(data)) 
           file.close()
   

   and

   def load(self):
           """Load alerts data"""
           try:
               file = open(os.environ['appdata']+r"\hexchat\alerts.conf","r")
               print("alerts config file is exist, loading config")
           except:
               file = open(os.environ['appdata']+r"\hexchat\alerts.conf","wt")
               file.write("[]")
               file.close()
               file = open(os.environ['appdata']+r"\hexchat\alerts.conf","r")
               print("alerts config file is not exist, create config")
           data = file.read()
           if data is None:
               return
           try:
               result = json.loads(data)
           except Exception as ex:
               print("Failed to load alerts:", str(ex))
               return False
   
           if not isinstance(result, list):
               result = [result]
   
           self.alerts.clear()
   
           for ix, data in enumerate(result):
               try:
                   alert = Alert.import_dict(data)
               except Exception as ex:
                   print("Failed to load entry {}:".format(ix), str(ex))
                   ok = False
                   continue
               if alert.name in plugin.alerts:
                   print("Failed to load entry {}: Alert '{}' duplicated in save data.".format(ix, alert.name))
                   ok = False
                   continue
               plugin.alerts.append(alert)
