Looks like it works just fine :) Here's what I did:
I added these 3 api methods to ApiHandler.java.
public boolean isFalse() {
return false;
}
public boolean isTrue() {
return true;
}
public Map mapWithBoolean() {
Map m = new HashMap();
m.put("true_enabled", true);
m.put("false_enabled", false);
m.put("true_enabled_obj", Boolean.TRUE);
m.put("false_enabled_obj", Boolean.FALSE);
return m;
}
My python client calls it like this:
print "--------------------------------------"
print client.api.is_false()
print "--------------------------------------"
print client.api.is_true()
print "--------------------------------------"
print client.api.map_with_boolean()
And here is the output:

Maybe the serializer isn't properly passing the (B|b)oolean to the
child serializers.
