How to populate a Django sqlite3 database

My plan is to collect lawyer biography data from websites in batches and convert each batch into a .csv file, then to json, and then load each into a Django database.

Please let me know how to achieve this task the best way.

Just load the database directly. Collect data from websites in batches, loading the SQlite3 directly. Just write simple batch applications that use the Django ORM. Collect data from websites and load SQLite3 immediately. Do not create CSV. Do not create JSON. Do not create intermediate results. Do not do any extra work.

Edit.

from myapp.models import MyModel

import urllib2



with open("sourceListOfURLs.txt", "r" ) as source:

    for aLine in source:

        for this, the, the_other in someGenerator( aLine ):

            object= MyModel.objects.create( field1=this, field2=that, field3=the_other )

            object.save()



def someGenerator( url ):

    # open the URL with urllib2

    # parse the data with BeautifulSoup

    yield this, that, the_other

Thank you. This sounds good. But can you give me some more detail to start from. A search for "Django ORM" did not lead to any basic stuff that I can use.

@Zeynel: Your question says you're using Django. Are you actually using Django? If you are, then you already know about the Django ORM. stackoverflow.com/questions/1884694/… If you're not actually using Django, please update the question to say what you are using.
