See ​another PR, using a ISO 8601 string instead of a float.

I gave a look at the code, and seems to solve the problem. Adds support for ISO durations. Includes new tests which seem to cover most of the cases (replicates previous duration tests, with the new ISO format).

Only thing is I am not able to tell if the format should be included anywhere in the official docs of the serializers or if it's not necessary.

Looks good! Reviewed as part of the Django sprint at PyCon.

tests.serializers.test_json:test_timedelta passes with the patch. It fails without the patch.

The new TestParseISODurationRoundtrip tests look good.

Does this need docs?

DjangoJSONEncoder does not seem to be documented at all. I've added an entry to the release notes, and will open another ticket for the whole class to be documented.

See https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/26704 for the DjangoJSONEncoder documentation ticket.

Now that #26704 is committed, we can update those docs for these changes.
