Description

I thought adding the Django field type to the python serializer would be a good idea, since field types are given as an attribute in the XML serializer. I'm not quite sure how to do this for related fields, but I'm attaching a patch that's a start.

I'm not sure I see the value here. Field types are useful in XML because all content is a string, so you need to be able to work out when to convert to an integer/date etc. This isn't required for the python-based types, because JSON/YAML are typed syntaxes.

If you have a particularly good argument for why this is required, feel free to reopen the ticket.
