title: StremListener does't return data in JSON in tweepy
body: <p>My goal is to get the data from <code>def on_status(self, status):</code> in json format.
  Right now I return data in something similar to JSON, but it's not JSON:</p>
  <pre><code>{'favorited': False, 'contributors': None, 'truncated': False, 'text': 'Lol. As long as you and Tsidi are awake, am not sleeping RT @TboyMP: @Fufu_Tinkies hambo lala wena!! LMAO!!', 'source_url': 'http://ubersocial.com', 'in_reply_to_status_id': None, 'user': &lt;tweepy.models.User object at 0x1b4f3d0&gt;, 'filter_level': 'medium', 'geo': None, 'id': 326808604013379586, 'favorite_count': 0, 'source': 'UberSocial for BlackBerry', 'lang': 'en', 'author': &lt;tweepy.models.User object at 0x1b4f3d0&gt;, 'created_at': datetime.datetime(2013, 4, 23, 21, 23, 37), 'retweeted': False, 'coordinates': None, 'in_reply_to_user_id_str': None, 'entities': {'symbols': [], 'user_mentions': [{'id': 282499717, 'indices': [60, 67], 'id_str': '282499717', 'screen_name': 'TboyMP', 'name': 'Thulane Khanye'}, {'id': 157961325, 'indices': [69, 82], 'id_str': '157961325', 'screen_name': 'Fufu_Tinkies', 'name': 'Nomfundo'}], 'hashtags': [], 'urls': []}, 'in_reply_to_status_id_str': None, 'in_reply_to_screen_name': None, 'id_str': '326808604013379586', 'place': None, 'retweet_count': 0, 'in_reply_to_user_id': None}
  </code></pre>
  <p>As you can see it uses single quotes instead of double. The way I'm getting this is :</p>
  <pre><code>data = status.__getstate__()
  </code></pre>
  <p>However I can't <code>load</code> it with json module:  it gives me an error:</p>
  <pre><code>Encountered Exception: expected string or buffer
  </code></pre>
  <p>So how to remove data from there in JSON or convert it to JSON?</p>
  <h1>UPDATE</h1>
  <p>I want to have something like this:</p>
  <pre><code>&gt;&gt;&gt; data = '[{&quot;fooo&quot;:&quot;bar&quot;,&quot;something&quot;:&quot;another bar&quot;}]'
  &gt;&gt;&gt; ww = json.loads(data)
  &gt;&gt;&gt; ww[0]['fooo']
  u'bar'
  </code></pre>
  <p>I'm expecting to get help in the way I can do this with <code>tweepy</code> data....
  thank you.</p>
