Your model files are run on every request, so you shouldn't put any one-time code in a model file. The easiest way to do this would be manually via appadmin (see http://web2py.com/book/default/chapter/03#More-on-appadmin). You could also do it from a web2py shell or by putting the code in a Python script file and executing the file with web2py command line options (see http://web2py.com/book/default/chapter/04#Command-Line-Options, in particular, the -S and -R options).
