COOL DJANGO APPS TO EXPERIMENT WITH

Its been three months since I started learning Django. Here is one of the  Django-Packages that I have experimented with since then:

 Django-Oscar

Its an full-fledged ecommerce app and is very well documented. Its features include:
  1. Paying for an order with multiple payment sources (e.g., using a bankcard, voucher, gift card and business account).
  2. Complex access control rules governing who can view and order what.
  3. Supporting a hierarchy of customers, sales reps and sales directors - each being able to “masquerade” as their subordinates.
  4. Multi-lingual products and categories.
  5. Digital products.
  6. Dynamically priced products (eg where the price is provided by an external service).
Its easy to setup and comes with a sandbox site and a demo site. 
The only problem I have come across is product images uploading which is caused due to improper settings of 'MEDIA_URL' and 'MEDIA_ROOT'. Also, it may arise because of the wrong installation of Pillow. If PIL is installed in your system before and without pillow then you may encounter this problem. I resolved this with the help of this handy tutorial.
Here are some of the screenshots of the sandbox site:
