Description: ========
        Overview
        ========
        
        Cartridge is a shopping cart application built using the `Django`_ framework.
        It is `BSD licensed`_ and designed to provide you with a clean and simple
        base for developing e-commerce websites. It purposely does not include every
        conceivable feature an e-commerce website could potentially use, instead
        focusing on providing only the core features that are common to every
        e-commerce website.
        
        This specific focus stems from the idea that every e-commerce website is
        different, tailoring to the particular business and products at hand, and
        should therefore be as easy as possible to customize. Cartridge achieves
        this goal with a code-base that implements only the core features of an
        e-commerce site, therefore remaining as simple as possible.
        
        Cartridge extends the `Mezzanine`_ content management platform and a live
        demo of Cartridge can be found by visiting the `Mezzanine live demo`_.

        Dependencies
        ============
        
        Cartridge is designed as a plugin for the `Mezzanine`_ content management
        platform and us such requires it to be installed. By following the
        installation instructions below this should occur automatically.
        
        Installation
        ============
        
        Assuming you have `setuptools`_ installed, the easiest method is to install
        directly from pypi by running the following command, which will also attempt
        to install the dependencies mentioned above::
        
        $ easy_install -U cartridge
        
        Otherwise you can download Cartridge and install it directly from source::
        
        $ python setup.py install
        
        Once installed, the command ``mezzanine-project`` should be available via
        Mezzanine, which can be used for creating a new Cartridge project in a
        similar fashion to ``django-admin.py``::
        
        $ mezzanine-project -a cartridge project_name
        
        You can then run your project with the usual Django steps::
        
        $ cd project_name
        $ python manage.py syncdb --noinput
        $ python manage.py runserver
        
        You should then be able to browse to http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/ and log
        in using the default account (``username: admin, password: default``). If
        you'd like to specify a different username and password during set up, simply
        exclude the ``--noinput`` option included above when running ``syncdb``.
        
        Contributing
        ============
        
        Cartridge is an open source project that is managed using both Git and
        Mercurial version control systems. These repositories are hosted on both
        `Github`_ and `Bitbucket`_ respectively, so contributing is as easy as
        forking the project on either of these sites and committing back your
        enhancements.
