I have this in my views.py
response_dict = { 'status': status, 'message': message } return HttpResponse(simplejson.dumps(response_dict), mimetype='application/javascript')
Since I start using this import:
from django.utils.translation import ugettext_lazy as _
at this line:
message = _('This is a test message')
I get this error:
File "/home/chris/work/project/prokject/main/views.py", line 830, in fooFunc return HttpResponse(simplejson.dumps(response_dict), File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/json/__init__.py", line 243, in dumps return _default_encoder.encode(obj) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/json/encoder.py", line 207, in encode chunks = self.iterencode(o, _one_shot=True) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/json/encoder.py", line 270, in iterencode return _iterencode(o, 0) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/json/encoder.py", line 184, in default raise TypeError(repr(o) + " is not JSON serializable") TypeError: <django.utils.functional.__proxy__ object at 0x7f42d581b590> is not JSON serializable
Why? What am I doing wrong?
You can also create you own JSON encoder that will force __proxy__
to unicode.
From https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/topics/serialization/
from django.utils.functional import Promise from django.utils.encoding import force_text from django.core.serializers.json import DjangoJSONEncoder class LazyEncoder(DjangoJSONEncoder): def default(self, obj): if isinstance(obj, Promise): return force_text(obj) return super(LazyEncoder, self).default(obj)
So now your code can look like:
response_dict = { 'status': status, 'message': _('Your message') } return HttpResponse(json.dumps(response_dict, cls=LazyEncoder), mimetype='application/javascript')
