Building CCAvenue Right, Then Open-Sourcing python-pay-ccavenue

When Django took over the payments slice from the FastAPI proxy (chapter 4), I made myself a promise: this time CCAvenue would be built properly, not smeared across a request handler with encryption copied from a vendor sample and a prayer. I had already integrated it once — deliberately badly — back in the proxy era, just to prove people would pay for courses at all. They did: roughly one in ten of six thousand users. But that first version was a pile of hashlib calls and string concatenation I never wanted to write again. So on the rebuild I wrote it one more time, carefully, and then pulled the gnarly core out into a package so nobody would ever have to. That package is python-pay-ccavenue, and extracting it was the highest-leverage hour in the whole payments effort.
