> they would now need to store max 4N bytes, which (with a high N) can exceed internal limits such as maximum length of an index key.

Specifically, indexes are limited to 767 bytes (some say 768?), which means 191 utf8mb4 characters. So your otherwise-innocuous VARCHAR(255) primary key breaks. I’ve seen this multiple times, e.g. django-celery probably still has this: https://github.com/celery/django-celery/issues/259.

For small projects you'll be fine just doing it in the view. For bigger projects you would want to use a task scheduler like Celery and with django-celery to distribute the workload in the background.

Using the open source e-commerce framework Django-Oscar as an example.

Django-Oscar, the open-source ecommerce framework, sparked my interest as a Python/Django developer and a small business supporter because it allows developers to host their own online shops. The Django-Oscar framework “manages a 12 million item catalog supported by 100+ suppliers for a single project,” and provides the opportunity to customize the core functionality to support creative implementations. The ability to customize an implementation of an ecommerce framework is unique, as opposed to out-of-the-box ecommerce solutions like Shopify. Django-Oscar also has an extensive test suite and detailed documentation.

I never used it myself, I'd check the docs : https://github.com/django-oscar/django-oscar

Oscar

Check out Oscar. It's highly customizable.

If you are looking for usage of class based views and templating then Oscar is a good shout.

Oscar just works man: http://oscarcommerce.com/

Is there anything specific that's not clear from reading its website ("Why choose Oscar?", "Problems Oscar is already solving") or looking at the documentation ("Features", "Example requirements that Oscar projects already handle")?

I want to dip my toes into eCommerce with Wagtail. I came across the django-oscar-wagtail which brings django-oscar into Wagtail with supposedly seamless compatibility. From what I can see, django-oscar-wagtail is very outdated, the last update to that repository was 3 years ago and there are quite a lot of submitted issues regarding incompatibilities with the newer versions of Wagtail and Django.
