Comment (by Jonas Haag):
How about adding a new `json` parameter as in python-requests? From their
docs:
{{{
>>> url = 'https://api.github.com/some/endpoint'
>>> payload = {'some': 'data'}
>>> r = requests.post(url, json=payload)
}}}
Dealing with requests regularly (and I'm sure I'm not the only one in the
Python web world who does that) this has become the natural way to specify
a JSON request body for me. On multiple occasions I just assumed there was
a `json` parameter on the test client just to be disappointed :)
