Options for running manage.py actions within a django app

Question

Redited for clarification

Hello I have a django app using haystack and a solr backend to power searches (works well)

My task is as below
1. User uploads a set of concepts which are saved in a django table
2. This data should be made searchable, it cannot work unless you rebuild the index
3. In cases of production environment where there are several users , it is impractical to keep checking if there is new data by users , and index this manually using the command manage.py rebuild_index
4. Are there wasy to automate the manage.py tasks in your django app.

Thanks

"... dynamic addition of data to the django data model ..." Oh boy... — Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams, Mar 24 '14 at 00:22
Have you looked at celery-haystack? It allows you to utilize Celery for automatically updating and deleting objects in a Haystack search index. — SunnySydeUp, Mar 24 '14 at 00:32
There is no case where you want to dynamically expand your django data model on the fly. Please edit your question and explain the bigger picture - you might be trying to solve the wrong problem. — Ruslan Osipov, Mar 24 '14 at 00:46
