Hi Alessandro, How your searches are going so far? Have you found something interresting with Dynamic-Models such Django-Mutant? I am exactly looking for the same thing you mentioned in this post, a solution that will allow Django ORM to manipulate uploaded shapefiles. So far, I have found a generic way as Andres Reyes Monge was talking about but I would prefer a table per shapefile also.
I was thinking about giving a try to django-mutant, so I would like to know if it works for you. Other idea I have is to use ogrinspect to update a models.py on every upload/delete of a shapefile maybe combining with a queue like Celery. I am not sure neither about this avenue. Please give me a little feedback about this topic!
