ASSIGNJS Decimals

[villas]

It would be great if ASSIGNJS would serialize Decimal numbers as Float rather then quoted Str.

Unless I'm overlooking something,  I suppose this would be a bug?

Thanks.

Here is an example.  I think this is a problem:

>>> from gluon.serializers import json
>>> json(decimal.Decimal(123.456))
'"123.4560000000000030695446184836328029632568359375"'

I think this is what a user would intend:

>>> json(float(decimal.Decimal(123.456)))
'123.456'

Suggestion:

In gluon.serializers.py the function def custom_json(o) contains this:

    elif isinstance(o, decimal.Decimal):
        return str(o)

I suggest this would be better: return float(o)
