While I agree entirely with your point, there is however perhaps room for a bit more helpfulness from the json module. There is no sensible reason I can think of that it refuses to serialize sets, for example. Going a bit further and, for example, automatically calling isoformat() on date/time/datetime objects would perhaps be a bit more controversial, but would frequently be useful, and there's no obvious downside that occurs to me. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
