Curious about state of django-billing

[stefanfoulis]

Hi This package looks pretty my like what I need for a project we're working on. First glance at the code looks like a very simple and powerful api :-)

Most of the code has not been changed in 2 years though. What is the state of django-billing? Does it work with recent django versions (1.6)? Is it still in use in production systems?

Cheers Stefan

I would like to know as well.

Hey, guys thanks for the interest and sorry for taking forever to get back to this. As you can probably tell, I haven't had any projects using this for the past few years, and so haven't been actively maintaining it. It should still be install-able directly from the github repo:

pip install git+git://github.com/gabrielgrant/python-pricing.git
pip install git+git://github.com/gabrielgrant/django-billing.git

But no guarantees on how well it's working with current Django :P

Did either of you ever end up getting it stood up? Assuming not, curious what you ended up using?

I actually have a project coming up in the next few months that's going to require this functionality, so there's a reasonable chance I'll either be resurrecting this again, or looking for other solutions and officially deprecating it if there's something better out there.

@gabrielgrant we ended up building a custom project specific solution

@gabrielgrant I would like to help you as a co maintainer of this project. let me clean this up and work fine with 1.8-1.11

[gabrielgrant]

@auvipy Cool! That's awesome. Just dropped you an email.

models is missing on_delete, so it will need at least some effort for Django 2+

yea, i imagine there are a fair few changes needed to work with modern Django, and possibly some newer Python features that could be put to work too. Any interest in helping out with that? ;)
