Ok, I've modified this slightly, however still cannot get this to work. To test it, I put a print statement at the top of the function and called syncdb, and sure enough the function was being called 8 times!
So, I modified it so each import is a function, and each has it's own dispatcher with a sender (being IssueType, IssueSeverity and IssueStatus) - however when the models are created they don't get called. Take the sender away and each function gets called 8 times - very strange. Can anyone help?????
