-1 on fixing it, but we *can* document workarounds. Here's what I use in
Mailman 3.
class ExtendedEncoder(json.JSONEncoder):
"""An extended JSON encoder which knows about other data types."""
def default(self, obj):
if isinstance(obj, datetime):
return obj.isoformat()
elif isinstance(obj, timedelta):
# as_timedelta() does not recognize microseconds, so convert these
# to floating seconds, but only if there are any seconds.
if obj.seconds > 0 or obj.microseconds > 0:
seconds = obj.seconds + obj.microseconds / 1000000.0
return '{0}d{1}s'.format(obj.days, seconds)
return '{0}d'.format(obj.days)
elif isinstance(obj, Enum):
# It's up to the decoding validator to associate this name with
# the right Enum class.
return obj.name
return json.JSONEncoder.default(self, obj)
(Frankly, I wish it was easier to extend the encoder, e.g. by registering
callbacks for non-standard types.)
I don't automatically decode enums because on PUTs, POSTs, and PATCHs, I know
which attributes should be enums, so I can convert them explicitly when I
validate input forms.
