Comment (by ericholscher):
@Matthew: Good points.
I don't know if all serializers are meant to always be deserializable, or
if that is just something that has happened in the past and should happen.
I see now how that functionality can be useful (as you are using them, as
a return from a view to populate data). Most of my experience with
serializers have been with load/dump data, I sometimes forget they are
really useful for serializing data in other situations.
It should be noted that these issues are seperate from the actual reason
that this ticket is open, so opening another ticket with each of your
proposed additions is probably advisable. The exclude stuff is a pretty
simple and logical change, so that having that in its own ticket would be
nice. I can see the extras functionality having more discussion, so
splitting that off as well is probably good.
The relations functionality seems to be a way to implement this ticket, so
that stuff is probably good to stay here :) Providing a patch on this
ticket providing that functionality against Django (along with the
relative depth as stated in the title) would probably be a good start to
getting something in a format that can be committed. I like the idea of
including this stuff, but I'm not sold on the API, but now I understand
better how it's useful :)
Cheers.
