First off I am brand new to python, pylons, elixir, sqlalchemy, etc so
please go easy on me. I am looking to turn some data from an Elixir
model into json. If I pull the data with:
data = model.Item.query.all()
and attempt to jsonify:
simplejson.dumps(data)
I get the TypeError: <Item> is not JSON serializable
which I can work around with:
def encode_elixir_entity(obj):
if isinstance(obj, elixir.entity.Entity):
return obj.to_dict()
raise TypeError(repr(o) + " is not JSON serializable")
then:
simplejson.dumps(data,default=encode_elixir_entity)
works as expected. So, now with my limited python/pylons knowledge, I
am ultimately trying to make use of the above in a pylons controller.
Since the @jsonify decorator takes no arguments im assuming there is
no way for me to specify the default=encode_elixir_entity option, is
that correct?
I think I can I hack the pylons.decorator code to meet my purposes,
but I am trying to do things "the right way". Is there another
alternative someone can suggest or point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance.
