Do you actually need to do this over HTTP? I.e., you may want the data to be put into your database, but is there actually a requirement to upload that file? Could you just load the file onto the database directly? Django contains a bunch of tools for uploading files directly, without going through a web interface. Look into loaddata management command for details. https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/ref/django-admin/ There isn't a native CSV importer, but there are a couple floating around the web that you might be able to use. The other approach - just write the data directly to the database. Write some code to read the CSV file, and use Django's model objects to write the data directly; e.g., if you've got a model called MyModel, with two fields field1 and field2: MyModel.objects.create(field1=value1, field2=value2) will create a record in the database with those values.
