Related Entities in to_dict function

I add some code for to_dict function work with related entities

@cut_traceback
    def to_dict(obj, only=None, exclude=None, with_collections=False, with_lazy=False, related_objects=False, depth=1):
        attrs = obj.__class__._get_attrs_(only, exclude, with_collections, with_lazy)
        result = {}
        for attr in attrs:
            value = attr.__get__(obj)
            if attr.is_collection:
                if related_objects:
                    value = sorted(value)
                elif attr.reverse.entity._pk_is_composite_:
                    value = sorted(item._get_raw_pkval_() for item in value)
                else:
                    value = sorted(item._get_raw_pkval_()[0] for item in value)
            elif attr.is_relation and value is not None:
                if related_objects and depth - 1 >= 0:
                    value = value.to_dict(depth=depth - 1, with_collections=with_collections, with_lazy=with_lazy,
                                          related_objects=related_objects)
                else:
                    value = value._get_raw_pkval_()
                    if not obj._pk_is_composite_: value = value[0]
            result[attr.name] = value
        return result

This is a pretty old Issue, and I apologize I didn’t read over this as carefully as I should. But I created a function to do recursive to_dict(). I’ve only worked it for my own very specific needs, but hopefully it will provide some inspiration for someone more technically inclined than myself.

Hi @kozlovsky, are there any plans to implement any kind of recursive to_dict()?
