python equivalent for JSONObject

[Pankaj Vishwani]

I am sure my question is the dummest question but I couldn't find any
link.
So I am trying to create a JSON Object in python and then send it as a
response.
In Java I would do the following:

JSONObject jObj = new JSONObject();
jObj.put("key", "value1");
response.out.write(jObj,toString());

Can someone tell me the equivalent for GAE + python.

There's nothing built in to Python or included in GAE. I quite like
simplejson, which makes it really easy:

import simplejson
self.response.out.write(simplejson.dumps(my_data))

I've had great experience with demjson.

Well... Correct me if I'm wrong but as far as I remember, neither
demjson nor simplejson handle custom objects automatically. The
developer has to write code to specify serialization.

That's correct -- there's no way for *any* JSON library to do that
automatically and correctly.

A quick way to do so is to leverage web.py's Storage wrapper.

I use demjson.

response.out.write(demjson.encode({
"key" : "value"
}))

Problem solved. Yeah........ !!!!
I am not sure why but simplejson.dump(my_dict) didn't work for me and
was throwing some kind of exception but demjson worked on the first
attempt.
Thanks a lot guys for your help.
I really appreciate it.

That would be because the function is called "dumps", not "dump".

Sorry, about the typo but I did use "simplejson.dumps".
