I looked at that but it probably won't ever support exchange rates.
Not sure yet if that is a show stopper because maybe forex is a
separate thing anyway. I do need exchange rates in another project and
I'd like choose a MoneyField which works in all projects.
On reflection I don't think exchange rates are any sort of show-stopper.
I either agree on an exchange rate with the client ahead of time and do
a forex deal without a rate (and wear the loss or gain when actually
exchanged) or bill in AUD and expect AUD to be remitted. I don't think I
want the complication of the MoneyField doing what someone else thinks
should happen.
Note that django-money uses py-moneyed which does not yet use Babel,
so rendering of the correct symbol is limited to a few hardcoded
currencies.
But py-moneyed does claim a complete dictionary of ISO 4217 currencies.
It also supports Python 2.7 which is useful for me because I haven't yet
rebuilt apache/mod_wsgi for py3 on my Ubuntu VMs. I wish there was a
pill to cure procrastination.
poswald/python-money does the same and looks interesting. Might go there
and see how it works. It also has form and field helpers.

Interesting. I don't use Babel yet. But it is on the horizon.
I'm beginning to see why Django doesn't (yet?) have a built-in
MoneyField and I'm still interested in experience with differences
between them.

pull
Martin Fowler off my shelf and saw how careful I was going to need
to be.
My question: Is Django planning to adopt one or other of the above
implementations?
I'm just trying to short-circuit more detailed analysis of these
packages and perhaps others I haven't yet found. If one is on the
horizon for Django I'll just go with that.
Thanks
