Inbound email processed by Django App

What is the best way to process inbound emails within a Django app using the Send to a program feature on an email inbox. I have already tested a pyhton script that receives an email and writes it to a file, and I also have tested a callable python script within django that logs into the email account and processes the mail. But what I need is to be able to process the emails within the django app to create a few instances of a model when the program is run when an email is received. Any ideas?

Implement your "callable python script within django" as a Django management command.
Wrap the management command with a shell script that passes stdin to the management command.
Make the shell script the "send to a program" target for your email address.
