Dump converts int or bool to float

[Oriel-Barroso]

I have an schema:

class ExampleSchema(Schema):
    name: str
    value: int | float | bool

When I pass an integer or boolean value, marshmallow converts it into a float. Is there any clean way to correct this?

See https://github.com/Bachmann1234/marshmallow-polyfield

Your use case is closer to Union field, but it wouldn’t work because all the types are compatible.

I suspect this “polynumber” use case is common enough to justify a utility that maps the type or minimizes value change.
