I just used the following code on a project to solve the problem you're
describing:
models.py
class SomeModel(models.Model):

def get_fields(self):
return [(field.name, field.value_to_string(self)) for field in
SomeModel._meta.fields if field.value_to_string(self) is not None]
It's a basic extension to the link that Kurtis just provided.
HTH.
