Access django models inside of Scrapy

Question

Is it possible to access my django models inside of a Scrapy pipeline, so that I can save my scraped data straight to my model?

I\'ve seen this, but I don\'t really

Answer 1

The opposite solution (setup scrapy in a django management command):

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
# myapp/management/commands/scrapy.py 

from __future__ import absolute_import
from django.core.management.base import BaseCommand

class Command(BaseCommand):

    def run_from_argv(self, argv):
        self._argv = argv
        self.execute()

    def handle(self, *args, **options):
        from scrapy.cmdline import execute
        execute(self._argv[1:])

and in django's settings.py:

import os
os.environ['SCRAPY_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'scrapy_project.settings'

Then instead of scrapy foo run ./manage.py scrapy foo.

UPD: fixed the code to bypass django's options parsing.
