This does catch some possible errors, but there are plenty of other ways to run into similar issues if you're not careful. For example: >>> json.dumps(..., default=lambda x: [lambda x: x])
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/opt/homebrew/Cellar/python@3.11/3.11.6_1/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.11/lib/python3.11/json/__init__.py", line 238, in dumps
**kw).encode(obj)
^^^^^^^^^^^

chunks = self.iterencode(o, _one_shot=True)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

return _iterencode(o, 0)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
RecursionError: maximum recursion depth exceeded while encoding a JSON objectPerhaps a general purpose "solution" would be to catch the RecursionError and re-raise with more useful context about the value that was being serialized? |
