[New-bugs-announce] [issue27934] json float encoding incorrect for dbus.Double

[Eddie James]

New submission from Eddie James:

JSON does not correctly encode dbus.Double types, even though all other dbus types are handled fine. I end up with output like this (0.25 is the floating point value): dbus.Double(0.25, variant_level=1)

Found that the encoding uses repr() for float objects but uses str() for integer objects. I propose a change to use str() for float objects as well. This could be ported back to 2.7 as well
