New submission from Gabriel Genellina <[email protected]>:
json compares arguments against True/False by identity, not by boolean
value; by example:
if (skipkeys is False and ensure_ascii is True and
check_circular is True and allow_nan is True ...
Using `ensure_ascii=1` won't work as intended. I don't see the reason
to check those values by identity - they *are* boolean flags, and
should be checked by value, as the usual practice.
The attached patch fixes the code and documentation (and a bug encoding
True/False as keys, including unit tests)
