Satchmo is a mature (nearly) out-of-the-box shop solution which is well suited to many shops. It has a history of being a bit hard to install, but I hear that has changed in the last months. Its community is helpful too. Nevertheless, its sheer size might be a bit too much for a beginner, and if you do not need everything Satchmo offers you might be happier with a simpler app such as Plata: http://readthedocs.org/docs/plata-django-shop/en/latest/index.html https://github.com/matthiask/plata/ (Yay, promoting my own projects.
