The idea of using a form becomes a problem, because to replace the
standar modelform inside the admin with ModelAdmin.form i need another
modelform, according to this:
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.2/ref/contrib/admin/#adding-custom-validation-to-the-admin.
If there's any way to replace a modelform with a standar form inside
the admin view, i will appreciate some ideas.

When i replace the modelform with a standar form, arrise an
ImproperlyConfigured bug: DataAdmin.form does not inherit from
BaseModelForm at admin.py: admin.site.register(Data, DataAdmin)

But anyways i take your point of create new data instances inside the
for loop:

def save(self, commit=True, *args, **kwargs):
file = self.cleaned_data['file']
records = csv.reader(file)
for line in records:
form_input = super(DataInput, self).save(commit=False,
*args, **kwargs)
form_input.place = self.cleaned_data['place']
form_input.time = datetime.strptime(line[1], "%m/%d/%y %H:
%M: %S")
form_input.data_1 = line[2]
form_input.data_2 = line[3]
form_input.data_3 = line[4]
form_input.save()

However i still got the AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no
attribute 'save'.

Regards!
