[Python-Dev] Enum is really serializable using json?

We have this issue closed as resolved:

  http://bugs.python.org/issue18264

It's called "enum.IntEnum is not compatible with JSON serialisation",
and it looks that after a long conversation they added proper support
for it in Py3.4.

However, this is still failing:

Python 3.4.2 (default, Oct  8 2014, 13:18:07)
[GCC 4.9.1] on linux
>>> import enum, json
>>> Foo = enum.Enum('Foo', 'bar baz')
>>> json.dumps(Foo.bar)
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
TypeError: <Foo.bar: 1> is not JSON serializable

Am I failing to understand the bug tracker saying the patch was
applied for Py3.4?

(thought it was more polite to ask here than to reopen the whole
thread in the issue tracker)

Thanks!
