Invalid JSON returned when using find and no entry exists

[DanielALS]

I'm learning to build a DB, so my existing one is pretty empty.
When I try to find a resource which doesn't exist, I get a malformed response.

I'm using the Python Client (2.7.11)

import channelfinder
client = channelfinder.ChannelFinderClient()
# my default config is pickedup in my home dir
client.find(name="name_that_does_not_exist")

I had to fork and tweak the Python client, because all responses were assumed to be valid JSON serializable and they would just blow up. I created a separate method to encode into JSON and if it fails I get a warning. See shroffk/pyCFClient#1
