zip object is not JSON serializable when generating graph

[timothyleung]

By following the tutorial, I have the following set up

# view 
def salesboard(request):
    # render the graph here
    data =  [
            ['Year', 'Sales', 'Expenses'],
            [2004, 1000, 400],
            [2005, 1170, 460],
            [2006, 660, 1120],
            [2007, 1030, 540]
        ]
    chart = flot.LineChart(SimpleDataSource(data=data), html_id="Line Chart")
    return render_to_response('scoreboard.html', {'chart':chart})

Template
{{ chart.as_html }}

Error

Error during template rendering

I'm having the same issue with python3.4
I did some digging and found that get_serieses in BaseFlowChart is storing the result of zip which then gets json serialized.

The problem is that the zip method in python 2 returns a list of tuples whereas in python 3 a zip object is returned.
The zip should be converted to a list as such.

Yup Thats what I did to fix it as well! Feel like we should create a pull request for this

Pull request #32 takes care of this.

I've included this pull request in my fork at https://github.com/ModusVivendi/django-graphos and also on pip at django-graphos-3.

@timothyleung @e78908b943c8 @ModusVivendi @sheepeatingtaz PR #32 has been merged and updated code has been uploaded to Pypi. With recent "pip install django-graphos" this issue should be resolved.
