Hi Bojan, I am actually working on this exact process right now, because I had a similar need.
The scripts I have been working on, along with some example data, are in this repo https://github.com/legiongis/fpan-data in the utils directory. The main script, thesaurus_from_csvs.py, will create an entire thesaurus from a directory full of csv files. A new top concept is created for each file, and a concept is made for every row within it. Also, a collection is made for each csv. In the script you are able to define some information about the files -- whether an alphabetical sortorder is applied to the contents of each one, which column index holds the label, etc. You can also choose to reuse UUIDs that are already present in the csvs. This is important, because in v4 these UUIDs need to be consistent in the business data (in v3 the conceptids in the authority files where used instead). To this end, I made the other script, which will take the csv files and add a column of UUIDs to each one, if one doesn't exist. The whole setup is pretty limited though, no capacity for altlabels, and, more importantly, no ability to indicate "collector" concepts or hierarchies beneath a top concept at this time. But it should be easy to augment if necessary; I tried to construct it a modular way. I would welcome additions to that repo if you end up using those scripts.
