Well, most dyno's (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamometer) should allow you to download the output to a file, and using Tim's example for loading, you should be able to put the data into the django app pretty easy.
Here's what I would try, create a CSV or XML file for testing and loading into your django app so you can get a taste for what it looks like, you should then be able to build a URL/view to load it from the server, and viola you have your data, no? I would probably build the site in such a way that users could submit their numbers via another URL, and if you get that working, then the dyno could post it's data the same way, does that make sense?
