Can I get the value of an object field some other way than obj.field
? Does something like obj.get('field')
exist? Same thing for setting the value of the field.

To get the value of a field:
getattr(obj, 'field_name')
To set the value of a field:
setattr(obj, 'field_name', 'field value')
To get all the fields and values for a Django object:
[(field.name, getattr(obj,field.name)) for field in obj._meta.fields]
You can read the documentation of Model _meta API which is really useful.
