There are several approaches:

1. Your code that currently reads the string could connect to the Django
site via HTTP, log in as a user to which you have given suitable
permissions, and know enough about how to talk to the admin interface to
create and populate instances of the model that you have designed to hold
the strings.

2. Similar to 1, but using a custom view you have written (possibly
RESTful) that is single purpose for creating the populated model instances,
and designed to be easier for a program to talk to.

3. Your program could create a Django "fixture" file containing the
information, which can then be loaded using manage.py loaddata to load it
into Django.  See https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.5/howto/initial-data/

4. Assuming that your existing code is in python, write a new management
command based on it that fetches your strings as now, and then directly
saves them using the ORM.

5. Have your program use an independent connection to the database that is
backing Django to create the rows directly.

I suspect that 3 or 4 are the simplest to code, but will require more
Django study than that required to put up a web site.
