TypeError: Decimal(...) is not JSON serializable with use_decimal=True about simplejson HOT 3 CLOSED

As a follow up, the workaround I am currently using is to use DjangoJSONEncoder to force the Decimal conversion to string to happen Python-side. Alternatively (for non-Django users) the following could be used to prevent comparison of Decimal types in the C extension while still being able to have the benefit of the speed-ups for everything else:

import decimal, simplejson
class DecimalJSONEncoder(simplejson.JSONEncoder):
    def default(self, o):
        if isinstance(o, decimal.Decimal):
            return str(o)
        return super(DecimalJSONEncoder, self).default(o)

data = decimal.Decimal('10.0000000000')
print simplejson.dumps(data, cls=DecimalJSONEncoder)

from simplejson.

I believe that v2.5.1 should resolve your issue, let me know if it doesn't. I haven't tested it in an actual sub-interpreter environment.
