[issue12657] Cannot override JSON encoding of basic type subclasses

[Niko Wilbert]

Niko Wilbert <mail at nikowilbert.de> added the comment:

This issue is also a real pain when using namedtuple. In many situations a namedtuple should be serialized as a dict, but there is no reasonable way to get this behavior.

Earlier solutions (e.g., see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5906831/serializing-a-python-namedtuple-to-json) are now broken in Python 2.7.
