Trying to create a custom renderer and getting error

[Zak]

I'm trying to create a custom renderer like this:

config = Configurator(settings=settings)

config.add_renderer('json_with_custom_default', JSON(default=json_util.default))

But I keep getting an error "global named 'JSON' is not defined" even though I am importing json. What am I doing wrong?

so you are "importing json" via "import json" ?
and you are using some other thing called "JSON" ?

Yes, I have import json at the top. And, no, I'm not using anything called JSON. I think I found the class I'm trying to call in here: https://github.com/Pylons/pyramid/blob/master/pyramid/renderers.py

So how can I import that class?

I think the problem is that I'm using Pyramid 1.3, not 1.4. Do you know how I can update?

[Michael Merickel]

You're looking at unreleased code, your options are to
maintain/install a fork, or to copy that class into your own project
or to write your own json renderer (which is very easy to do).

If you install that fork, you can "from pyramid.renderers import JSON".
