I fail to see the point of asking for a finished product in Python 
that's already available in another language. Am I being dense? The 
obvious answer seems to be "If you like the oscommerce.org software then 
use it".

"I would like to use Python" implies this is a hobby, not a commercial 
enterprise, in which case it's easier to understand what's going on, and 
then the advice might be "Pick the PHP apart and use that as a quide for 
building similar functionality".
