You haven't given enough information to even guess at the problem.  Does 
the exception get thrown as part of the assignment, or evaluating the 
"....." you pass to json.dumps()?  I would start by breaking things down 
into smaller pieces and seeing which piece raises the exception.

Also, post more of your code so we can see what's going on.
