Getting an attribute by name is dead simple in Python - use getattr().

What about foo._meta.fields[0].get_value_from_object(foo) ?
More seriously, it took me 2 minutes playing with a model object in
the interactive shell to come up with what seems a working solution:
from django.db import models
def to_dict(self):
return dict((f.name, f.value_from_object(self)) for f in
self._meta.fields)
models.Model.to_dict = to_dict
And now all your model object have a to_dict method that will even
provide defined default values when necessary (NB : if anyone know
about any drawback or potential problem with this solution, please let
us know).
