Hi there, I've been playing with Python's new json library, and found myself facing a seemingly simple problem: encoding of datetime objects. Some 'jsonlib' that I was using previously was unable to do this, and the new built-in json module shares the same limitation.
A bit of googling around brought me to <http://www.west-wind.com/ WebLog/posts/214731.aspx> which seems to suggest there is no standardised way of doing it. Indeed, reading the rather sparse JSON RFC makes no mention of it. It appears my only possibility is writing little helper functions to convert my datetimes to/from ISO8601 strings or UNIX timestamps, but this just feels wrong. Suggestions? Thanks, David. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
