Hello, Maybe this app could be helpful for you: http://code.google.com/p/django-batchimport/
If you have to import lots of data I would suggest creating python script that reads the files and inserts the data in database either using Django ORM or plain SQL. In case of hundreds of thousands of rows I would commit the changes to database after number of inserts (e.g., 100) instead of every insert.
