Yes, of course you can use the dumps() in bson.json_util package. But, the dumps() will give you quoted results. To get clear json result you can use the following code.

clean_json = re.compile('ISODate\(("[^"]+")\)').sub('\\1', 
        dumps(my_db._my_collection.find(query), 
                 json_options=CANONICAL_JSON_OPTIONS))
json_obj = json.loads(clean_json)
