That would definitely work.
I guess it's missing from the
docs<https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/topics/serialization/#serialization-formats>—
only 'xml', 'json', and 'yaml' formats are documented. The 'python'
serialization format was documented until version 1.1, but then removed,
although it is still
implemented<https://github.com/django/django/blob/stable/1.6.x/django/core/serializers/__init__.py#L27>
as
of 1.6.
