You should be able to reproduce problem with A (More) Complete Example. This leads to problems when you start working with deserialized result but instead of expected objects there are dicts.

Expected

…
c = MyTestClass.from_dict(data)

print(repr(c))
# prints the following result on a single line:
#   MyTestClass(
#       my_ledger={'Day 1': 'some details', 'Day 17': ['a', 'sample', 'list']},
#       the_answer_to_life=42,
#       people=[
#           Person(
#               name=Name(first='Roberto', last='Fuirron', salutation='Mr.'),
#               age=21, birthdate=datetime.datetime(1950, 2, 28, 17, 35, 20, tzinfo=datetime.timezone.utc),
#               gender='M', occupation=['sailor', 'fisher'],
#               hobbies=defaultdict(<class 'list'>, {'M-F': ['chess', '123', 'reading'], 'Sat-Sun': ['parasailing']})
#           ),
#           Person(
#               name=Name(first='Janice', last='Darr', salutation='Dr.'),
#               age=45, birthdate=datetime.datetime(1971, 11, 5, 5, 10, 59),
#               gender='F', occupation='Dentist',
#               hobbies=defaultdict(<class 'list'>, {})
#           )
