The short answer is "you have to build the serializer yourself". Django doesn't provide any mechanism for serializing arbitrary Python objects. The long answer depends on the serializer you want to use. Django's model serialization module builds on a number of other libraries (Python's builtin XML handling, simpleJSON, YAML, etc). These libraries handle the logic for how to serialize python primitive types (integer, list, etc). The Django serialization module describes how to decompose a django model instance into a series of primitives. If you want to serialize your own arbitrary object, you will need to come up with a similar set of rules, and wrap it around the base serialization libraries.
