Hello, Fabio I took a look at django-csv-importer but since my files weren't quite clean (or comma separated), I ended up rolling my own solution using celery[1], to make the uploading rask asynchronous, and DSE[2], to allow for faster bulk imports, as well as a lot of trial and error.
Take a look at those libraries as they may help you in rolling out your own solution as well. Let be know if you need more pointers!
