Comment (by danpalmer):
So, while implementing I've found a minor edge case.
From the Python docs
[https://docs.python.org/3/library/json.html#json.JSONEncoder table of
Python to JSON type conversions] list:
||= Python =||= JSON =||
|| int, float, int- & float-derived Enums || number ||
Unfortunately I can't figure out how to test a float-derived enum. I don't
use Python Enums much, so I might just be getting this wrong, but looking
at the [https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/3.5/Lib/json/encoder.py
source for the standard JSONEncoder], I can't see any mention of support
for this feature. It explicitly calls out {{{IntEnums}}}, but nothing
float related for them.
For these reasons, I'm going to just leave this.
