I picked up Django as my web server of choice this year and found the same delightful to work with. Given I generate content outside of the django app I had to roll my own data seeder.

It’s actually quite straightforward using CSVs and models to load each row in.

Can see it getting complex once I need to seed a large dataset or with loads of relationships. Look forward to seeing an official 3rd party app that takes away the complexity from my code base for seeding.

I've been using django-seed and it's fine. The API is a little confusing, it hasn't been updated in years and there are some sharp edges (e.g. auto-M2M2M).

Yes, to your point, it would be great to see the jazzband project adopt/anoint it or another solution.
