Re: Next steps for Satchmo

2015-09-25 Thread Sheridan Small
I know this thread is over a year old but it seems appropriate to reply to 
it here rather than creating a new thread.
First of all I would like to say that I think Satchmo is a great project 
and ideal for my requirements.
However Django 1.4 is reaching the end of extended support in a few days 
(October 1st 2015).
Is it still true that Satchmo requires Django 1.4 an will not work with 
newer versions of Django?
If so, are there any plans to update Satchmo to work with newer supported 
versions of Django?

Re: Next steps for Satchmo

2015-09-25 Thread Chris Moffitt
I recently checked in a pull request to update Satchmo for more recent
versions of Django. To be honest I have not done extensive testing but I do
think it will work with more recent versions of Django.

I'd love to see the project keep going and will do what I can but would
like to see if anyone else has capacity to step up and give Satchmo a
little boost.

Chris, this is great news. I'll offer a +1 for Pillow. I've used it as a 
drop in replacement for PIL on a couple projects, but I'll have to admit to 
not knowing much about the guts of it.

 Since I've been out of the loop a while, the biggest thing I would like to 
 do is get Satchmo working with Django 1.6. I have made some updates to the 
 supporting packages and updated them in PYPI and would like to get a newer 
 version of Satchmo out there as well.

 A couple of thoughts I've had:
 - Should we migrate from using PIL to Pillow? It looks like pillow is 
 being updated more and is more installable so this seems like a 
 straightforward suggestion but I am curious if anyone has any concerns with 
 this approach.
 - I am considering wrapping django-signals-ahoy into Satchmo. It would be 
 one less dependency and since it is relatively simple, I don't see the 
 harm. Any thoughts here?
 - Are there any other watchouts people have after they have started using 
 Django 1.6 with respect to Satchmo?

 Finally, I'd appreciate any help with triaging bugs in bitbucket. If you 
 have bugs or issues that are still valid, feel free to update tickets. 

 Please chime in with thoughts or issues. I'd love to try to get a little 
 momentum going again.

 Thanks,

That's great, Chris!  I can dedicate some time to improve Satchmo if you 
like. We've made quite a bit of changes and enhancements ourselves in the 
last few months and I'd be very happy to share them with you... changes to 
discount codes, more shipping options, new payment processors, etc.

Thanks for the offers to help.

For folks that have some time, I'd appreciate it if you could take a look
at the pull request Kevin has submitted to overhaul the UI. He's done a lot
of work and it would be good to get some more eyes on it.

https://bitbucket.org/chris1610/satchmo/pull-requests

Daniel - I'd be happy to take a look at the changes you've made. Feel free
to submit some pull requests or point me to a repo to take a look at the
latest info.

That's good to hear!

+1 . I've used Pillow on a couple (non-Satchmo) projects and it's been
everything I hoped PIL would be -- which is installable yet stable after
installation.


 - I am considering wrapping django-signals-ahoy into Satchmo. It would be
 one less dependency and since it is relatively simple, I don't see the
 harm. Any thoughts here?


That's probably a good idea, since no one has updated it since 2009.
Whatever happened to Bruce anyway?

I have one thing that has always bugged me getting a Price for a
Product has always been difficult. I can see the current scheme is good for
T-shirt sizes, etc. But can there be a column for base_price, etc so that
people that have one price per item don't have to get another object and
query the database for it? That way, they get the Product and have the
Price.

Anyway, glad you are back.


 Thanks,
 Chris
