self.write not json serializing

[defrex]

self.write (in a handler), should take care of json serialization. In the case of 9a85201 however, it didn't work and I had to add it myself. It's not a huge deal for now.

Oh, and the traceback:

Heh, I totally forgot about redmine. I'll switch this to there now...

Revert that change! self.write has to handle non-JSON, because we don't always use it in the responses (as an example, /token/).

You want self.output instead.

[defrex]

oh, I see. There is code in there that's sending dics to self.write for some reason.

[shz]

Hm, I suppose that's a bug then.

I may change dict.write in the future so that it automatically converts dicts to JSON, and writes a string through otherwise. In the meantime though, they're separate functions.

[defrex]

My guess is that right now it will convert a dict but not a list, since that's what I'm passing through.
