The jsonutils.dumps() function returns bytes on Python 2 and Unicode
oon Python 3. In some cases, we always want bytes. For example, a
HTTP body must be bytes. This function avoids an condition call to
.encode() depending on the type or on the Python version.
For example:
body = jsonutils.dumps(data)
if isinstance(body, six.text_type):
body = body.encode('utf-8')
can be replaced with:
body = jsonutils.dump_as_bytes(data)
