Tengo una aplicación django que se estaba ejecutando en1.4.2 versión y funciona completamente bien, pero recientemente lo actualicé a django1.6.5 y enfrenta algunos errores extraños como a continuación

En realidad, obtengo esto durante el proceso de registro de usuario / cliente en la funcionalidad de mi sitio

Request URL:    http://example.com/client/registration/
Django Version:     1.6.5
Exception Type:     TypeError
Exception Value:    <Client: test one> is not JSON serializable
Exception Location:     /usr/lib/python2.7/json/encoder.py in default, line 184
Python Executable:  /home/user/.virtualenvs/test_proj/bin/python
Python Version:     2.7.5

Estoy confundido sobre por qué el error json anterior ha aparecido después de la actualización y, por cierto, estoy usando un campo json personalizado en algunos de mis modelos como se muestra a continuación

proj / utils.py

from django.db import models
from django.utils import simplejson as json
from django.core.serializers.json import DjangoJSONEncoder


class JSONField(models.TextField):
    '''JSONField is a generic textfield that neatly serializes/unserializes
    JSON objects seamlessly'''

    # Used so to_python() is called
    __metaclass__ = models.SubfieldBase

    def to_python(self, value):
        '''Convert our string value to JSON after we load it from the DB'''
        if value == '':
            return None
        try:
            if isinstance(value, basestring):
                return json.loads(value)
        except ValueError:
            pass
        return value

    def get_db_prep_save(self, value, connection=None):
        '''Convert our JSON object to a string before we save'''
        if not value or value == '':
            return None
        if isinstance(value, (dict, list)):
            value = json.dumps(value, mimetype="application/json")
        return super(JSONField, self).get_db_prep_save(value, connection=connection)

from south.modelsinspector import add_introspection_rules
add_introspection_rules([], ["^proj\.util\.jsonfield\.JSONField"])

settings.py

SERIALIZATION_MODULES = {
     'custom_json': 'proj.util.json_serializer',
        }

json_serializer.py

from django.core.serializers.json import Serializer as JSONSerializer
from django.utils.encoding import is_protected_type

# JSONFields that are normally incorrectly serialized as strings
json_fields = ['field_1', 'field_2']


class Serializer(JSONSerializer):
    """
    A fix on JSONSerializer in order to prevent stringifying JSONField data.
    """
    def handle_field(self, obj, field):
        value = field._get_val_from_obj(obj)
        # Protected types (i.e., primitives like None, numbers, dates,
        # and Decimals) are passed through as is. All other values are
        # converted to string first.
        if is_protected_type(value) or field.name in json_fields:
            self._current[field.name] = value
        else:
            self._current[field.name] = field.value_to_string(obj)

Entonces, ¿cómo resolver el error anterior? ¿Alguien puede darme una explicación de lo que sucede para causar el error?
