When you do
python web2py.py -S yourapp -M -N -R yourscript.py
-M will import your models and run yourscript.py as if it were a controller.
yourscript.py must read the data from where it is (a file?), loop over it,
and do db.table.insert(...)
For example
for name in ['a','b','c']:
db.person.insert(name=name)
db.commit()
