One solution would be that the model field only stores the pickled value. Then you have a property or method on the model that returns the unpickled value (since properties can have getters and setters, you can use this to store new values as well). You wouldn't have to unpickle the value every time it's accessed, either: you could store the unpickled value in a cache attribute on the model and invalidate or update it every time the setter changes the field value.
