For the time being, as you know, I use my own json-ld serializer in pyRdfa, but I have not really done anything with it lately, and I am not even sure it is up to date. I would really prefer to rely on a core module...

The plan is definitely to do that as soon as JSON-LD is a REC. You can
install it separately now as well, as it plugs into RDFLib (making
e.g. "rdfpipe" from RDFExtras, also installable separately, pick it
up). Alas, I haven't had time to touch the code since december
though*, so it needs to be updated to the latest behaviour. (Also, the
implementation has hitherto been focused more on getting to/from RDF
than properly implementing full compaction/flattening, etc. An
alternative would be to adapt pyld [1] instead, if that is more up to
date.)

consulting assignments (one is the legal info system referenced, which
is a pain to leave behind; the other is the national library system,
which is an inspiring challenge I'll continue with as an employee). So
I've really been "up to my neck in alligators, having a hard time
focusing on draining the swamp". ;])
