I've got Satchmo running, and now I'm ready to work on a payment module for Google Checkout. I've been looking into what's available out there and I find gchecky 0.2.1 (Sep. 2008) <http://code.google.com/p/gchecky/> and getpaid.googlecheckout 0.3 (Dec. 2008) <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/getpaid.googlecheckout/0.3>. Now I find it odd that these seem to be abandoned years ago. Also I find documentation for these and Satchmo integration to be hard to find, or lacking in step by step instructions. I'm fairly new with Django/Satchmo... yet I've struggled ahead enough to get it working and manageable. I've ordered a book on Django (Beginning Django Ecommerce (Expert's Voice in Web Development)) which is the most recommended book in this category on Amazon. I need to get things done as quickly as I'm able, and the book won't arrive for another two weeks according to estimation. So any help or pointers will be greatly appreciated. Now I also see that Daniel Shorten has made a Beanstream<http://daniel.shortens.net/weblog/satchmo> module for Satchmo. And according to him he used the Google Checkout API as a model to do this. So he recommends reverse enginering his module for Google Checkout in Satchmo. Now I want to use method #2 of Google's Checkout API to integrate as a custom cart and get verification on sales paid for to update the inventory live on purchase. So all in all it looks like I may have everything I need... but to help you understand where I'm at... I don't know what to do, and in which order to do it in. I need direction basically. Google has sample/demo code for 6 languages for the checkout... none of which are Python. Google's Checkout Cart API does have really good outline for Google Checkout Custom Cart How To XML<http://code.google.com/apis/checkout/developer/Google_Checkout_Custom_Cart_How_To_XML.html>. But then I feel the next step from here would be to learn either Python XML handling to generate the order and figure out how to use that with signals, or some sort of template pre-generated for orders in XML format that uses Satchmo/Django to iterate over each product in cart and submit it. If you can just help me get started... If I can get started right I can most likely find my way through. A general plan.
