ChoiceField that shows display value

[Rory Geoghegan]

What I (think I) want is, given like a ChoiceField like so:

    class FoodSerializer(serializers.Serializer):

        food_choices = (('pasta','Delicious Pasta'), ('pizza', 'Big pizza'))

        food = ChoiceField(choices=food_choices)

That would serialize to:

    {

        'food': {

            'value': 'pasta',

            'display_value': 'Delicious Pasta',

        }

    }

, and, respectively, should be able to deserialize the following to match the above:

    {

        'food': 'pasta',

    }

or

    

    {

        'food': {

            'value': 'pasta',

            'display_value': 'Delicious Pasta',

        }

    }

Does anyone know of a python package that will do that? Otherwise, I may write it myself.
