EDIT: I found problem. It was in def post(self,people_id) method:
if errors:
return jsonify({'errors': errors}), 422
new line:
if errors:
message = json.dumps({'errors': errors})
return Response(message, status=422, mimetype='application/json')

Inspired from this bug, here is a shorter way of doing it:
from flask import jsonify, make_response
def myMethod():
....
return make_response(jsonify(data), 200)
This can be simply done by:
from flask import jsonify
def myMethod():
....
response = jsonify(data)
response.status_code = 200 # or 400 or whatever
return response
I had a similar problem, the problem is that i was using jsonify twice (jsonify(jsonify({abc:123})))
def post(self):
some_json=request.get_json()
return jsonify({'you sent ':some_json})
enough to solve this issue
For this we can try
response=response.json()
response=json.dumps(response)
