Migrate users data from django to drupal 7 - django

Question

Is there a way to migrate users data from django to drupal-7. I have 800 users in my old django website and want to migrate these users to drupal-7. Please suggest some tricks or tutorial. I googled a lot but was unable to find any direct solution.
Thank you for your help and suggestions.

I believe there is not an module for this, specifically. But the migrate module can help you with the migration. It demands that you create some code for the migration. But it is necessary only if your users have a lot of custom fields.
If they are simple users (username/email/password), you only would need to make a simple script to create users. In that case, you can use the drupal_bootstrap to start it from an external script and with user_save create the users.
<?php
define('DRUPAL_ROOT', '/path/to/drupal');
require_once DRUPAL_ROOT . '/includes/bootstrap.inc';
drupal_boostrap(DRUPAL_BOOTSTRAP_FULL);
//set up the user fields
$fields = array(
'name' => 'user_name',
'mail' => 'user_name#example.com',
'pass' => $password,
'status' => 1,
'init' => 'email address',
'roles' => array(
DRUPAL_AUTHENTICATED_RID => 'authenticated user',
),
);
//the first parameter is left blank so a new user is created
$account = user_save('', $fields);
