19234	can't adapt type error with models	artscoop93.info@…	nobody	"Sometimes with Django you want to perform operations which need to pickle model objects, you end up with a '''can't adapt type''' error. This is often true when one uses ''celery'', for example.
I have a simple way to resolve this issue for model classes, but I wonder if it's relevant to add this code to Django itself.
This would be a new function in the django.db.models.base.Model class

{{{
def __reduce__(instance):
    names = [f.name for f in instance._meta.fields]
    attributes = dict([(name, getattr(instance, name)) for name in names])
    return (instance.__class__, (), attributes)
}}}
