Unfortunately I deal with very different shapefiles and I create models
on the fly with ogrinspect tool.
I cannot know the shapefile structure, before user upload: for this
reason a table per shape is IMHO mandatory (as well as a clearer approach).
Are you sure you need a new model for every shape your user inserts?
Most likely you need to design a generic models in which you would
insert new rows for every shape.
I mean generic in the sense that it is designed to contain different
shapes not any special Django or Python stuff

Hi list.
I need to create an app in which the user can upload a shapefile, which must
be stored in a database table with LayerMapping from
django.contrib.gis.utils, as explained here:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/gis/tutorial/#layermapping
The problem is that I need to update dynamically my models.py with a new
model and add a table for every shape inserted by the user, without using
syncdb.
Trying to document myself about this topic, I encountered a lot of
interesting extensions like south, django-eav and django-mutant for example.
(An interesting discussion here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7933596/django-dynamic-model-fields/7934577#7934577)
But I'm very confused about what could be the best solution for my needs.
Has anybody experience with this kind of tools?
Thanks in advance.
Alessandro
