Python JSON encoder to support datetime?

Question

is there any elegant way to make Python JSON encoder support datetime? some 3rd party module or easy hack?

I am using tornado\'s database wrapper to fetch some rows

Answer 1

The Tryton project has a JSONEncoder implementation for datetime.datetime, datetime.date and datetime.time objects (with others). It is used for JSON RPC communication between the server and client.

See http://hg.tryton.org/2.4/trytond/file/ade5432ac476/trytond/protocols/jsonrpc.py#l53
