Hi.

Why the json serializer does not support plain strings?

I'm having problems because I want to serialize keywords arguments and the dictionary keys are str objects, not unicode.

There are some problems with this:

elif isinstance(obj, str): w('"') w(stringEncode(obj.decode("us-ascii")) w('"') ?

Yes. What if it is not an ASCII string? If you know that your strings are ASCII strings, decode them before you give them to Athena.

I can use simplejson, but I don't want to add too many dependencies.

Thanks Manlio Perillo
