Trying to use cartridge master with Mezzanine master and django 1.8, I get the following error when I try to create the cartridge project

$ mkvirtualenv mezmaster
$ pip install git+https://github.com/stephenmcd/mezzanine.git#egg=mezzanine
$ pip install git+https://github.com/stephenmcd/cartridge.git#egg=cartridge
$ mezzanine-project -a cartridge localvore-dev

I also tried

$ mezzanine-project --template cartridge localvore-dev
CommandError: couldn't handle project template cartridge.

That is the consequence of a recent merge in mezzanine that changed the project layout to match django's one. Cartridge has still to catch up.

Any timescale on when this will be fixed? Currently, cartridge is essentially broken for clean installs and without trawling the internet to find hacks, making a new cartridge website is a no go.

If you do this:

mkvirtualenv mywebsite
pip install mezzanine cartridge

You will end up with mezzanine 4.0, django 1.8 and cartridge 0.95. Attempting to make a new cartridge website will fail...

The latest compatible releases seem to be cartridge==0.9.3 and mezzanine<4.0.

You can also use Mezzanine 4.0, Django 1.8 plus the development branch of Cartridge using these steps to start a project:

Thanks @stephenmcd, works beautifully and seems smarter for new projects.

this doesn't fixed the issue I got
django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Creating a ModelForm without either the 'fields' attribute or the 'exclude' attribute is prohibited; form ProductAdminForm needs updating.

Sorry I don't think this is related.

Actual issue fixed by stephenmcd/mezzanine@f3be54b and a0f2cd7

I'd like to keep this open until pip is updated, since I just came across the exact same issue with a fresh install and it's just nicer to new users...
