I\'m looking to implement a very basic shopping cart. Satchmo seems to install a lot of applications and extra stuff that I don\'t need. I\'ve heard others me
As mentioned above, Django-cart hasn't been updated in a long time so it is most likely not compatible with Django 1.0 and the more recent versions of Django. For that reason alone, I'd recommend sticking with something more recent.
I'm biased because I'm a dev on Satchmo but I think the feeling of overkill with Satchmo is a bit overblown. You'll probably be surprised at all the things you think you'll want to do with your "simple cart." Soon it may not be so simple.
Worst case, if Satchmo is too much you can yank out the parts you don't care about.
