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

setup-environ is deprecated. You may need to do the following in scrapy's settings file for newer versions of django 1.4+

def setup_django_env():
    import sys, os, django

    sys.path.append('/path/to/django/myapp')
    os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = 'myapp.settings'

django.setup()
