Django JSON Serializer

This is a django serializer that outputs sensible json to be sent to the frontend, rather than intended as a serializer to a file. Here’s an example:

>>> print s.serialize(User.objects.all(), relations=['groups'], excludes=['user_permissions'], indent=4)
[
    {
        "username": "dusty",
        "first_name": "",
        "last_name": "",
        "is_active": true,
        "is_superuser": true,
        "is_staff": true,
        "last_login": "2010-11-26 13:27:07",
        "groups": [
            {
                "pk": 1,
                "model": "auth.group",
                "name": "hello",
                "permissions": []
            }
        ],
        "pk": 1,
        "model": "auth.user",
        "password": "sha1$8f816$b4c8139100c314b46f1ca931858e4d6d5c61917f",
        "email": "dusty@linux.ca",
        "date_joined": "2010-11-22 17:55:40"
    }
]

This project was originally forked from: https://code.google.com/p/wadofstuff/wiki/DjangoFullSerializers

The original code produced a json format that was good for ./manage.py dump and load, but wasn’t as suitable for sending data to a web client for processing via ajax.
