Hi, I still having this issue. 

I'm using python 2.7.8 (Linux), scrapy 0.24.4 and i'm getting the following 
error through localhost:6080/crawler


exceptions.TypeError: <scrapy.crawler.Crawler object at 0x7f23ccf44e90> is 
not JSON serializable 
  /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/twisted/web/server.py:189 in 
process 
 
 188                    self._encoder = encoder 
 189            self.render(resrc) 
 190        except: 


Also, scrapy command tool shows the following piece of code :


 [TelnetTransport,0,127.0.0.1] Unhandled Error
    Traceback (most recent call last):
    Failure: twisted.internet.error.ConnectionDone: Connection was closed 
cleanly.

[...]
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/json/encoder.py", line 184, in default
        raise TypeError(repr(o) + " is not JSON serializable")
    exceptions.TypeError: <scrapy.crawler.Crawler object at 0x7f23ccf44e90> 
is not JSON serializable



Any ideas?
