Where to run Python Code in Django once the file is uploaded?

Question

My django application has a file uploader which uploads to a specific location in my local system. It redirects to a new html page which shows successful message after upload is done. Once the file is uploaded I need to do some processing of csv files. I have a python code which does the processing.

Now my question is, where do I put the python file in the django project and how do i call it to be run once the upload is done?

Any help is appreciable Thanks in advance

You can place it anywhere you like, it's just Python. Maybe in a csv_processing.py if it fits in a single module, or as a completely independent library if it's more. Django doesn't have an opinion on this.

The best way to run it is by doing it asynchronously using Celery.
