features

date and datetime serializing

this serializer will handle datetime and date serializing. if a datetime is timezone naive, it will be made aware using the detected current timezone (via tzlocal.get_localzone())

all received dates will be timezone aware, but the timezone will be fixed to UTC.

NamedTulpe support

this serializer allow to transmit namedtuple as dict, and will deserialize it as special namedtuple, supporting dict index

Requirements

• Python 2.7, 3.6, 3.7

known limitations

• if you pass some objects with keys __type__, it will be converted.
• all unserialized dates will be tz aware, and tzinfo will be set to UTC. (this is a good practice to change tz at display time)
• for python < 3.7, the order in the namedtuple is not garanteed, use exclusively kwargs and attrs by names
