But as you know I have the problem with swedish signs. Well, you haven't actually said what the problems are, you just said "the windows command prompt does not support swedish signs." But then later you said that you do use chcp to set the encoding in the command prompt and the symbols appear properly, but aren't handled properly when you use "python manage.py shell", specifically, which rather well matches my experience with that Python issue. Now you say "the SQL shell" and I'm not sure if you mean the sqlite program or manage.py shell, so I'm a bit confused. Perhaps if you gave some specific details it would help. What codepage do you use for chcp, what exact commands are you issuing in the (and which) shell, what is the result? If the problem isn't fixed by that Python issue than perhaps the problem is that your data is not encoded in the character set you think it is encoded in. > > > I shall try to use the admin interface instead, but today I can only > add one item at the time.

Doing anything interactive, whether in the admin interface or manage.py shell, is much more cumbersome than just having a script do the bulk data importing. You also then bypass any issues specific to the Windows command prompt and its character set issues. But if the root of the problem is the source encoding for your data, then bypassing the shell isn't going to help, so again more information about what exactly is going wrong would help people help you.
