Shoot, so now I have to have different behavior based on the web2py
version. If I fix this code so it runs properly, it will quit working on
my production servers unless I upgrade them to 2.9.12 or later.
To make it compatible with both versions I'd need to use
json.dumps(list_of_dictionaries) instead of
response.json(list_of_dictionaries), right? But then that is the wrong
behavior in the long run, right?
