Model API or load bulk data?
Question: I want to add scrapped data to my database. I like the fact that the API
enables validation but I assume that the overhead is too high. I'm writing
maybe 10k rows at a time, at most. Is that accurate?

Alright, so one other issue I was having, which was preventing me from testing
this hypothesis is that I'm currently unable to import my models module. I get
an error message claiming that my DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE is undefined.

my django.wsgi script does define it and it works within the context of
django. I assume that when I try to execute a python file from the command
line, the .wsgi script is not run. Again, assumptions, I know.

Do I have to add my django project to my PYTHONPATH within the bashrc file to
make this work?


Answer: You'll need to set your project's settings file in ~/.bashrc if you want to
use it in a script.

    
    
    export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/path/to/django/project
    export DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=settings
    

or

    
    
    export DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=/path/to/django/project/settings
