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

For Django 1.4, the project layout has changed. Instead of /myproject/settings.py, the settings module is in /myproject/myproject/settings.py.

I also added path's parent directory (/myproject) to sys.path to make it work correctly.

def setup_django_env(path):
    import imp, os, sys
    from django.core.management import setup_environ

    f, filename, desc = imp.find_module('settings', [path])
    project = imp.load_module('settings', f, filename, desc)       

    setup_environ(project)

    # Add path's parent directory to sys.path
    sys.path.append(os.path.abspath(os.path.join(path, os.path.pardir)))

setup_django_env('/path/to/django/myproject/myproject/')
