You can try this, now! django-picklefield https://pypi.org/project/django-picklefield/

To use, just define a field in your model:

>>> from picklefield.fields import PickledObjectField
... class SomeObject(models.Model):
...     args = PickledObjectField()

and assign whatever you like (as long as it's picklable) to the field:

>>> obj = SomeObject()
>>> obj.args = ['fancy', {'objects': 'inside'}]
>>> obj.save()
