I hesitate to chime in because I haven't yet looked at Pyramid
(though it's on my list) and so don't know how much help I could
provide, but FWIW I am interested in the project. I've just started
diving into Satchmo myself, because I have a more or less immediate
need to set up a shop. I've not used Django before either, but
*have* used Pylons (if that helps?) and in general would prefer to
become familiar with Pyramid next instead of Django. Anyway I guess
I've just got a +1 for the idea at this point, and would be happy to
help in whatever way I could.

Re: pyramid ecommerce/shopping cart?
Eric,
Are you going to be at pycon? I’m interested – I briefly
looked at porting something to repoze back at PloneConf in
Bristol....but gave up, as it was a bit more then I was ready
to chew.
Cheers,
Andrew

Hi Eric,
I participated very briefly in the development in Satchmo
(one of Django's ecommerce solutions) and I do have an
interest in developng an ecommerce solution with
Pylons/Pyramid. That being said, I have an interest, but no
time (grad school + full time job + limited sleep).
Maybe this is a general pyramid question, maybe not, but one
of the best features I thought Satchmo had was that the
shopping cart provided default templates, and each specific
shop just had to define a new templates directory, and
override the portions they needed and they would take
precedence over the defaults.
Is that going to be possible with a pyramid ecommerce
solution?
What did you have in mind for product variations and product
attributes?

Hi everyone,
I've recently been evaluating the practicality of
developing an open source ecommerce solution to handle
products, customer accounts, shopping, and business
reports/data analysis. When I've been approached with this
request in the past, the conclusion is inevitably to use
an existing solution because of the time involved and the
difficulties with PCI compliance.
With Pyramid's built-in support for auth (which is
surprisingly easy to use with SSL compared to Pylons and
repoze.what), the majority of the work would be left to
developing a solid model and templates, along with options
to configure or integrate payment processing solutions,
tax rules, etc.
Virtually all shopping cart solutions that aren't Google
Checkout or Paypal require the business to obtain its own
merchant account and payment processing account, and it
would also be up to them to purchase secure web hosting or
secure their own servers to PCI compliance standards,
meaning this application wouldn't need to address a large
chunk of PCI compliance requirements.
That being said, the amount of testing and work involved
on this project means it needs community support or it's
doomed to fail. As a Pylons-turned-Pyramid developer who
works with small businesses, I'd find it ideal to have it
in Pyramid vs existing PHP and Python/Django solutions. Is
this something anyone else is working or has an interest
in?
Thanks!
Eric
