Oscar is an e-commerce framework for Django designed for building domain-driven e-commerce sites. It is structured such that any part of the core functionality can be customised to suit the needs of your project. This allows it to handle a wide range of e-commerce requirements, from large-scale B2C sites to complex B2B sites rich in domain-specific business logic.

Oscar was written by David Winterbottom (@codeinthehole) and is developed and maintained by Tangent Labs, a London-based digital agency, with help from Mirumee.
Oscar is released under the permissive New BSD license.
Oscar is still in active development, but is used in production by a range of companies, from large multinationals to small, boutique stores:
- Tata Group - http://www.landmarkonthenet.com
- Carlsberg - Their global "We Deliver More" platform is powered by Oscar (but is a B2B site so it not browsable by the public).
- Dolbeau - http://www.dolbeau.ca/
- The UK Labour party - http://shop.labour.org.uk (will be live in early June)
Many more on the way.
