How Django is used by Australia’s largest online retailer.

I’m often asked about the choice of Django (and Python) for the base technology stack of kogan.com.  People are often surprised that Australia’s largest online retailer is not built in Java, .NET (your typical ‘enterprise-y’ stack) or using an out-of-box enterprise commerce product.  I thought it would be good to give people context behind the technology that we use at kogan.com, how it came into being and where it is going.
