If you want to do your own JSON serialization of datetime objects instead of using DjangoJSONEncoder, use simplejson.dumps(o, default=encode_datetime). The encode_datetime method will convert the datetime object to UTC and output an ISO format string just like the isoutc template filter.

import datetime
from dateutil import tz

def encode_datetime(obj):
	if isinstance(obj, datetime.datetime):
		return obj.astimezone(tz.tzutc()).strftime('%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ')
	raise TypeError(repr(o) + " is not JSON serializable")
