Hi Collin
Thanks for the reply. I will see what I can do, and if this project is worth 
pursuing.

Best regards

Hi Abhilasha,

This is ringing a bell. I almost started working on an "inspectfile"
feature many years ago as a Google Summer of Code project.

https://groups.google.com/d/topic/django-developers/z88grOaxEHU/discussion

https://groups.google.com/d/topic/django-gsoc/V9FdRVZ7gMg/discussion

I ended up deciding not to do it, so I don't have much else to offer you
for guidance :)

Re: Automating the process of creating models from the data file provided

Hi Abhilasha, 

There's any number of ways you could go... 🙂

But...

Have a look at Simon Willison's Datasette project. 
http://datasette.readthedocs.io/

In particular see the various ...-to-sqlite tools listed here: 
https://datasette.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ecosystem.html

If you can get that far then the existing `inspectdb` tool can get you to 
model files. 

No doubt you could improve the workflow but that should give you some guide 
to get started. 

Kind Regards,

Carlton

Automating the process of creating models from the data file provided

[Abhilasha Jha]

Hi all,
I was thinking if a feature could be added to Django models, such that when 
the CSV/ text or any other commonly used data file is added to the project 
and the models are automatically created and populated. I have not tried to 
go through nitty-gritty of the feature, but am thinking of doing this and 
contributing to Django, and needed some guidance on same.

Thanking you
Abhilasha
