Example of how to avoid TypeErrors with Boto3 scripts due to datetime errors

Raw

# add this class 
class DatetimeEncoder(json.JSONEncoder):
    def default(self, obj):
        try:
            return super().default(obj)
        except TypeError:
            return str(obj)

# Use this to print without errors. Notice the use of cls=DatetimeEncoder
print(json.dumps(results, indent=4, cls=DatetimeEncoder))
