in my view, why does this work:
results = []
results.append({'status':1})
results.append({'bookmarks':[]})
simplejson.dumps(results)
# produces: []
and this doesn't:
from myapp.models import Bookmark
results = []
results.append({'status':1})
results.append({'bookmarks':Bookmark.objects.all()})
# fails with exception saying: [] is not JSON serializable
completely stack trace follows
