In Django : How to serialize dict object to json?
Question: I have this very basic problem,

    
    
    >>> from django.core import serializers
    >>> serializers.serialize("json", {'a':1})
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "<console>", line 1, in <module>
      File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/django/core/serializers/__init__.py", line 87, in serialize
        s.serialize(queryset, **options)
      File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/django/core/serializers/base.py", line 40, in serialize
        for field in obj._meta.local_fields:
    AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute '_meta'
    >>> 
    

How can this be done?


Answer: Also, since you seem to be using Python 2.6, you could just use the `json`
module directly:

    
    
    import json
    data = json.dumps({'a': 1})
