Hey Anthony and Richard,

Yes you are both correct.

I am attempting to create a usable JSON object.

The confounding details from what I can tell are:

1.) the offending method is defined in a model file, which returns a
dictionary, which is then json serialized via

response.json(RETURNED_FROM_MODEL)

This shouldn't be a problem.

2.) I am nesting the results of the row.as_dict() into another dictionary,
which contains additional information ala.

RETURNED_FROM_MODEL = {'row':row,'other_key':[]}

The reason I moved the "extra" key into the dictionary manually is because
when I did not, the row in the above line was returning it to me as a key
in the json response.

Its a nested serialization issue from what I can tell, because if I add
another key into RETURNED_FROM_MODEL and set it explicitly as a boolean, it
returns properly.  When I add a dictionary with a key that has a boolean
value, it returns "T" or "F"

I'm coming up with some example code now.
