Re: Python dictionaries saved to models

`apps` should be the first argument to the RunPython function. Using the import you mentioned is incorrect and may cause bugs if your models change in the future. On Thursday, August 18, 2016 at 10:10:43 AM UTC-4, Aaron Weisberg wrote: > > Nevermind- the good folks at Django didn't add: > > from

Re: Python dictionaries saved to models

Great- thanks Tim. I understand the Python, but what I guess where I'm fuzzy is where to exactly put that code. Do I put it in the models.py? class.py? and how do I execute? That is the final piece of the puzzle for me. Thanks so much. Aaron On Wednesday, August 17, 2016 at 3:48:18 PM U

Re: Python dictionaries saved to models

You need to transform your data dictionary so that the keys match the models field names and then you can use: players_data = [{'number': 1, ...}, {...}] for data in players_data: Player.objects.bulk_create(**data) (or something similar with bulk_create()) https://docs.djangoproject.com/en
