Well, it depends. :-) Django has an XML importer, but it requires that the XML is in a particular format. If you have any control over the schema for the XML data, or you are an expert XSLT author, you may be able to convert the XML into a format that Django can import directly. If you don't have any control over the XML format, you will need to iterate over the 'objects' in the XML, construct a Django analog for each of those objects, and save to the database. ElementTree is well suited to doing this sort of iteration, as are any number of other XML APIs. However, without specific details on the format you are using, it's difficult to give more specific advice.
