If you are using postgres as your data store (And I recommend you do) take a look at the hstore type: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/static/hstore.html
There is a django app to help you work with hstore: https://github.com/djangonauts/django-hstore Here is a discussion by Craig Kerstiens about using hstore with django: http://www.craigkerstiens.com/2012/06/11/schemaless-django/ Lastly, Marc Tamlyn is a django core contributor working on a Kickstarter to add more postgres support to django: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mjtamlyn/improved-postgresql-support-in-django Hope this helps some.
