Calling syncdb on every file upload is wrong per se, but answering your question. To call syncdb from inside code:

from django.core.management.commands.syncdb import Command as SyncDbCommand
SyncDbCommand().handle_noargs()

A little bit hacky way: 

import sys
sys.argv.append('syncdb')

from django.core.management import execute_manager
import settings # Your project's settings. Assumed to be in the same directory. 

execute_manager(settings)

You can always call 

os.system('python /path/manage.py syncdb')

This should run your syncdb process, however, I think there are better ways to solve this without using syncdb at all.

Oh, and you will need to use flag that going to answer y to all questions.
