New submission from Tom Christie <t...@tomchristie.com>: json.dumps() documentation is slightly incorrect.
http://docs.python.org/library/json.html#json.dumps Reads: "If ensure_ascii is False, then the return value will be a unicode instance." Should read: "If ensure_ascii is False, then the return value MAY BE be a unicode instance."
