Serialisation of reverse FK and M2M lookups

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I posted a comment on your blog and went away to come up with a decent
suggestion.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. M2M fields defined on a related object aren't serialised

I've attached a patch that looks up any FK or M2M defined on related models
and, if specified in 'relations' serialises them. You should be able to
pass in options as with regular M2M and FK lookups.

e.g. for a theoretica blog api
serializers.serialize('json', Post.objects.all(), indent=4,
relations=('comment_set',))

Please contact me if you'd like to discuss or would prefer full .py files
to work with.

I've improved the serializers' handling of reverse and recursive Foreign Key 
lookups.

Please disreqard the above patch and use the new one.

This is a patch to be applied to the 'serializers' directory.

Thanks!

No problem - Frederico indicates that the patch still works on 1.2 with the 
latest
wadofstuff serializers so I can send those to you. I should really set up a 
full app
for this. :)

These files should just replace the existing files. Please let me know if they 
fail
on your install.

Did this patch ever make into svn or pypi? I'd like to use it in various 
deployments, so being able to get it with pip would be cool.

Same here. Would like to see it included as well. I'm totally abusing this 
great serializer and this is something which is confusing me.
