Comment:
It looks like the problem here is that Django expects that decimal objects
will get converted to string (by its default method) instead of a JSON
number. This change to the default options was made for usability reasons
in simplejson 2.2.0, most people want decimals to get encoded as numbers
even though there's a possible loss of precision if decoded on the other
end without the right options. This behavior can be turned back off with
use_decimal=False on encode. The version embedded in Django also supports
this option (default False rather than True), so explicitly specifying
this behavior would be compatible with whichever version of dump/dumps
ends up getting used.
