Re: I have searched and searched for a CSV Importer that does the following.

Yes, this is what I did; it is a significant amount of work to create such a facility and I would have been glad if someone had done this already! 

Of course, linking fields to column headers is the very simple part of it - you still need to load rows of data items; validate each-and-every item of data (including those which are - or may be or should be -  linked to fields in other tables); allow for data conversions decide what to do with duplicates; figure out error reporting (by field?  by row?  by sheet?); allow for re-uploads; and so on and so on. 

CSV Import is very slippery slope for your application - my advice is to avoid if at all possible!!

Imports a CSV
Allows users to then select the header that corresponds to the model.

But, honest nothing exists I can find, anyone know of any app out there in Django that does this I could have missed?

As close as I have gotten is with http://django-csv-importer.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ but this has one big draw back, the user has to know what the fields they need  to start with and cannot config after upload.

Thanks
