Reading CSV with Python, see: http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/handling-csv-files-python
I'm not sure you need a dictionary view as well (?) - the above tutorial shows how tuples are created, which may be sufficient for your needs. Working through a Django tutorial, or the first part of The Django Book should allow you to undertake the steps, while using the Django shell: 1. create instances of your models, 2. populate them, and 3 save them. You will, in any case, need this knowledge when working with Django. On Sep 7, 8:14 pm, Duane Hilton <dua...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thanks for the response.
