[SOLVED] Passing the twitter search json response to a flask route that outputs json

I am using the python library python-twitter to access the twitter api.

I am doing a search query and want that response to go my flask route.

I get this erro

TypeError: <twitter.status.Status object at 0x7f16dc089110> is not JSON serializable

Here is what I have

@app.route('/t/search/tweets',  methods=['GET'])
def twit():
    results = twitter_api.GetSearch(count=count, term='hello world')
    return Response(json.dumps(results),  mimetype='application/json')

Here is the full trackback
