Why I can NOT use Python but PHP

[Lad]

I would like to set up my website and allow customers to choose
products there, including shopping carts. I would like to use Python
but it would be very complicated to start from nothing.
Why is there not any(?) framework or complete e-commerce solution
written in Python?
There are lots in PHP.One, very nice is http://www.oscommerce.org

I fail to see the point of asking for a finished product in Python
that's already available in another language. Am I being dense? The
obvious answer seems to be "If you like the oscommerce.org software then
use it".

"I would like to use Python" implies this is a hobby, not a commercial
enterprise, in which case it's easier to understand what's going on, and
then the advice might be "Pick the PHP apart and use that as a quide for
building similar functionality".

There is a framework written in python.
It is called zope.
www.zope.org

If you will search well, I am quite sure you will also find a complete
e-commerce solution.
