[bop-devel] Python gateway module

[David Pratt]

Hi. I am interested in developing a generic python package for payment 
gateways and hoping to learn from you have already done in perl. Do you 
have a cvs or svn repository that I can browse.

I would like to put something together that will work closely with any 
existing standards for ecommerce and pos systems.

It appears at the outset that the main purpose is mapping fields from 
the request to submit a secure parameterized request to the gateway and 
evaluating the response for codes and feedback. Are you leaving 
validation up to the app independent of your module?

The other approach I can think is to create a dynamic module where there 
is a base object and subclassing the this to provide a payment gateway 
object with the attributes of the specific gateway. In any case looking 
for any recommendations or advice you can offer based on your experience.

Regards,
David
