This fixes the exportTemplate, exportFlowVersion and exportProcessGroup API's and probably some others.

The current implementation would json.loads() the reply to a dict, and then convert that dict to a str by using str(). This doesn't generate a valid JSON however, since it will be the Python representation of a dict.

{'flowContents': {'identifier': 'a9a4cae3-72e5-33c8-b6be-7879e79e5ded', 'instance...

Fixes #354
