heya,

We have a CSV file that we are importing into a Django application, and then 
creating the appropriate models and relationships.

At the first page, we have a file upload form where the user selects a file.

We then parse the file, and return a second page showing them what would be 
created, any validation errors etc.

The user can then decide whether to proceed or not (or possibly to correct 
any areas on-screen).

What would be the best way of storing the temporary interim models, before 
it actually hits the database proper?

The CSV file will be fairly big, possibly around 200 Kb in size, and create 
several hundred models.

Should I store this in the database somewhere, and label those models 
"temporary"? It seems a bit heavy just for a confirm, and I'm not sure if 
it's appropriate use of the database. Or is there some way we could store it 
in Django sessions? Or any other way to do it?

Cheers,
Victor
