Is there a way to automatically load data upon module install/upgrade/reload?

I just discovered the osv.Model init() and view_init() functions, which are really useful for some of the things I want to do. However, I'd like to be able to have my custom module come pre-loaded with some data when it's installed (or upgraded/reloaded). Is there a function that would allow this, similar to how init() lets me do things on module initialization?

You can load data when the module is installed/upgraded/reloaded with xml files in the module itself. These files need to be declared in the __openerp__.py file, in the data section

Hope this helps,
