I am in the Django camp, but I am still interested in using ActiveMerchant. Anyone have ideas what the best way to use both would be?

Perhaps one approach would be running a Ruby instance internally, dedicated to exposing ActiveMerchant functionality.

What about compiling ActiveMerchant to Python?

Oh God yes. Please, please, please.

http://satchmo.python-hosting.com/ don't know much about it or ActiveMerchant but maybe interesting to you.

Satchmo support many payment modules including:

        * Authorize.net
        * Trustcommerce
        * Google checkout
        * Cybersource
        * Paypal
        * Protx
        * Purchase orders

One of my coworkers was in the exact same position, so he's beeon working on porting ActiveMerchant to Python. It's on github: http://github.com/afarnham/openmerch/

django-accounts has a very simple implementation of interaction with authorize.net. havent tried it. but it looks good.
