It isn't possible right now. However, fixing this by inserting some error handling for the 'object doesn't have pk' case should be relatively simple to implement. Feel free to open a ticket suggesting this. If you're feeling adventurous, it should be a relatively simple problem to fix yourself. The serializers are mostly self-contained, so if you're looking for a simple way to get involved with Django development, this would be a good candidate. Work out the changes required, write a test case for the test suite, and you could have your problem solved and your name in the credits. If you do decide to have a try at solving this problem, keep in mind that there is a second side to the problem - once you can serialize an object without a primary key, you also need to be able to deserialize an object that has been serialized without a primary key.
