Using python3 - i know its experimental,

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/a/pywallet/pywallet.py", line 3936, in
wallet = json.dumps(json_db, sort_keys=True, indent=4)
File "/usr/lib/python3.6/json/init.py", line 238, in dumps
**kw).encode(obj)
File "/usr/lib/python3.6/json/encoder.py", line 201, in encode
chunks = list(chunks)
File "/usr/lib/python3.6/json/encoder.py", line 430, in _iterencode

File "/usr/lib/python3.6/json/encoder.py", line 404, in _iterencode_dict

o = _default(o)
File "/usr/lib/python3.6/json/encoder.py", line 180, in default
o.class.name)
TypeError: Object of type 'bytes' is not JSON serializable

Any chance it can be debugged?
Thanks!

I add this function to the end of the file

def dump_wallet(path_to_wallet):
	dumpbalance = False
	wallet_dir, wallet_name = os.path.split(path_to_wallet)

	db_env = create_env(wallet_dir)

	read_wallet(json_db, db_env, wallet_name, True, True, "", not(dumpbalance is None))
	wallet = json.dumps(json_db, sort_keys=True, indent=4)
	return wallet

and also modified the balance function to support python3

def balance(site, address):
	page = ""
	try:
		page=urllib.urlopen("%s%s" % (site, address))
	except:
		import urllib.request
		print('Python3 error: urllib.urlopen is not supported. Trying urllib.request.urlopen')
		page=urllib.request.urlopen("%s%s" % (site, address))
	return page.read()

and works

I got past the 'bytes is not JSON serializable error by installing simplejson.

pip install simplejson

This works because the script first tries to load simplejson, and then falls back to the built-in json, and apparently that fallback is not python 3 compatible.
