[New-bugs-announce] [issue38046] JSON sorting type error

[guillard]

New submission from guillard <yoann.reservations at gmail.com>:

If the dict included both str and int keys, sorted returns this error :
TypeError: '<' not supported between instances of 'int' and 'str'

It is a little bit problematic when used with default library behavior, as jsonify in Flask.

possible solution :
try:
    items = sorted(dct.items())
except(TypeError):
    items = sorted(dct.items(), key=lambda kv: str(kv[0]))
