Fabric + buildout as opposed to Fabric + pip + virtualenv
I've recently started playing around with Mezzanine, a django-based CMS. I recently just managed to configure Fabric to get it uploading to my host, webfaction.com, as its a bit more involved automatically creating the website on the shared hosting, and I wanted to automate that process.

Minimal alternative to Django Oscar?
There is also Mezzanine / Cartridge which is kinda like WordPress / WooCommerce in the PHP world, it’s primarily for a website that may have a shop added to it. Be aware that this is also somewhat legacy, last time I checked it was kinda in maintenance mode and the variant system for products was super limited.

what would be you choice of packages for building an e-commerce site with Django?
Mezzanine / Cartridge is similar to WooCommerce in the WordPress world, if you are wanting to add a shop to an existing site then this is a decent option. The problem with it is that the main dev on it went off to work for Google so it’s more or less in maintenance mode and the product variant system is very basic.
