Monkey patch FTW. The nasty thing is of course that this modifies the behaviour of the json module in your whole application, which may surprise others in a large application, so should generally be used with care imho.

Note that this solution will only work for datetime objects. Dates will be encoded as null. To fix this, the code can be changed to: json.JSONEncoder.default = lambda self, obj: (obj.isoformat() if isinstance(obj, datetime.date) else None)
