http://www.satchmoproject.com/trac/wiki/GetCodeI would strongly recommend staying far far far away from OSCommerce or anything derived from it. Unfortunately I've had a fair amount of experience with it and I can tell you, it is a beast of a system and it mildly terrifies me that it is ever trusted to handle credit card transactions. On a more positive note I have a good deal of experience with Django (not Satchmo tho). In general I give Django a big thumbs up and would be happy to try and help you with any specific problems you may be having with that setup.
A final bit of advice relating to Satchmo would be to make sure you are running the latest version (trunk) from their subversion repo (instructions<http://www.satchmoproject.com/trac/wiki/GetCode>) instead of the last "released" version. Their trunk code is very stable from what I understand and it supports/requires Django 1.0 which includes a large number of bug fixes, speed improvements, and new features over the previous release of 0.96. ____________________________ Sean O'Connor http://seanoc.com On Mon, Oct 13, 2008 at 12:07 AM, Orion Vianna < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hello, > I'm looking for a free open source e-commerce system that is easy to do > simple > modifications, wont brake all the simple modifications with an upgrade, > well documented, > with an active community and hopefully built with a documented framework > It also needs be able to run on linux and made with python, ruby or php. > > Those are the ones I have tried or looked at. > Magento - Too slow and I'm not sure if this is the way to go.
