Depends a LOT on the kind of XML files. Are they the document kind, mixed content all around? Like a HTML file? Or are they the structured kind with a fixed structure?

Your main problem will probably be mapping the xml structure to a relational model.

Some brainstorming:

- Look at a nosql backend for Django: a nosql database might store xml in a more xml-friendly way.

- First convert the xml to json? Might be easier to store?

- Convert the .xsd schema to .rng or something like that: more readable. And, importantly, easier parseable by a python script: you could write your own models.py generator this way :-)

- Do you want to store it in separate models or in one big chunk of xml/json? Depends on how you want to edit.
