I am using Django 1.6 beta 3.
In my view I try:
{{{
now = datetime.datetime.now(pytz.utc)
request.session['lstts'] = now
}}}
But I get the following error: http://dpaste.com/hold/1375033/
I presume the reason is the new serializer for session objects. I also
presume that "datatime" objects must be supported, because they are quite
useful and used.

Comment:
The JSON format doesn't provide a type for dates/datetimes. We'll have to
resort to a hack to support this use case.

Comment:
This was discussed quite a bit during the implementation, and the caveats
of JSON serialization have been documented:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/releases/1.6/#default-session-
serialization-switched-to-json
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/http/sessions/#session-
serialization
You can continue to use the `PickleSerializer` if needed.
