Satchmo
summary
Django-based Satchmo is an extensible e‑commerce framework with about 600 users and roughly 9 production sites that now runs on Django 1.0. It provides a live configuration app to change settings without restarts, a caching abstraction, and heavy use of signals: a local‑pickup shipper built with the Google Maps API in a few dozen lines, automatic loyalty‑code generation via the order success signal in ~1.5 hours, and tiered pricing via a price‑query signal in ~2 hours. Core product model and admin UI need refactoring.
