Can you describe your use case in a bit more detail? Is the idea that the function would accept a prefix argument and simply add that prefix to all keys in the resulting dictionary? I'm unsure why you couldn't do that outside of Django. model_to_dict() is a private API and I don't see much argument for adding options that Django itself doesn't use.
