Comment (by jaap3):

 As far as Django is concerned these views do have a primary key (there's a
 id field, it even has a unique index). The problem is that at the database
 level this field isn't, and cannot, have a primary key constraint. Without
 a **real** primary key Postgres cannot group by primary key only, since
 they don't exist.

 This is what happens if you try to add a PK to a (materialized) view:

 {{{
 => ALTER MATERIALIZED VIEW my_view ADD CONSTRAINT my_view_pkey PRIMARY KEY
 (id);
 ERROR:  "my_view" is not a table
 }}}
