Answer 1

I think aus_lacy is a bit off in his solution - first you have to convert the QuerySet to a string containing the SQL backing the QuerySet

from django.db import connection

query = str(ModelToRetrive.objects.all().query)
df = pandas.read_sql_query(query, connection)

Also there is a less memory efficient but still valid solution:

df = DataFrame(list(ModelToRetrive.objects.values('id','some_attribute_1','some_attribute_2')))
