Its just a case that isn't handled in
django.utils.simplejson.encoder.py. I'm not really sure the "right" way
to implement it but you could just change line 176 in _iterencode()
from:
176 elif isinstance(key, float):
177 key = floatstr(key, allow_nan)
to
176 elif isinstance(key, float) or isinstance(key,
decimal.Decimal):
177 key = floatstr(key, allow_nan)
But I also think JSONEncoder is meant to be subclassed for these types
of cases. I was just surprised to see that things like Decimal and date
weren't handled since these are so common as return types from the
DB-API.
