I'm building an app for a small business so I've to work with currencies, decimal numbers, etc... My goal is to create something like pulseapp.com.

I've searched for opensour开发者_运维问答ce projects to look and the only thing I had found was django-cashflow. This app uses python-money.

I've read some of the code and the ways it's coded seems a bit weird to me and it's not fully complete.

Is the app worth to take a deep look?

Does anyone know about another similar app?

Is the task difficult or a begginer like me could find a way to code it himself?


If you're dealing with currencies, you might look to satchmo's codebase. http://www.satchmoproject.com/ They're the current front-runner in Django e-commerce. I'm sure they have money modules.


Here you have something you might be interested:

Tryton with Django


I started to use python-money in an application a couple years ago, but had to abandon it due to some problem. I apologize for forgetting the exact problem, but I do remember for our use case it didn't make sense anyway... we just needed decimal fields.

I'd also be wary of django-cashflow not having any activity for 2 years, although the project is small enough it should be easy enough to fix any problems yourself.

For existing Django accounting apps I would suggest enhancing, or at least looking at, minibooks. NOTE: the license is AGPL v3 which could make it unusable for your environment.

Another road to travel would be to investigate porting OpenERP (also GPL IIRC) from Python/GTK to Django. Tryton might also be a starting point, it's GPL3 and IIRC a fork of OpenERP.


I've written a framework to help speed up the development of customised commerce aspects of django sites: Rollyourown shopping.

It lets your write your models yourself, and uses a declarative syntax to define a summary class, which handles calculating totals, caching and formatting values etc. It's pretty fast for my use cases, and very flexible: I've used it for online stores, billing for consulting-services and auction sites :-)

The current version works fine, but I'll be releasing a '1.0' version later this month as I decide on the final (stable) API details (names etc) and maybe some external reviews.
