Have you experienced the dreaded is not JSON serializable

in Python? Well, if you’re OK with omitting data that isn’t serializable here’s the quick fix that I use:
def serialize(data):
return json.dumps(data, default=lambda o: '<not serializable>').encode('utf-8')
Full disclosure: I found this on Stack Overflow at some point so I can’t take credit for writing it.
