I'm happy that I can contribute back some. I have continued working on it and have added a listener that will actually create the shipment and retrieve a fedex shipping label and tracking number when a customer submits an order. If you want to try it out use the most recent python fedex at github.com/jcartmell/python- fedex and the most recent fedex_web_services from bitbucket.org/ jcartmell/fedex_web_services. I am pretty sure that for the listener to work you will have to add it to your installed_apps. Also currently the listener does nothing with the tracking number besides print it (i.e. print trackingNumber) which obviously isn't useful except for testing purposes. The shipping label is saved to a folder called fedex_labels right below your MEDIA_ROOT. To get this to work you have to either use fedex test/developer credentials or have gone through certification (I'm still working on that but I think it is basically sending them samples of your printed labels to ensure your printer is high enough quality to produce usable labels.)
