If you are using Python 2.5;
- /usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages/
- /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/

If you are using Python 2.6;
- /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/

Example

Once you copy the "paypal" drectory under your PYTHON_PATH; you can enter shell by typing "python manage.py shell" command under your project root.

You need to define your PayPal API Credientials in your projects settings file. Those are; - PAYPAL_USER (api username) - PAYPAL_PASSWORD (api password) - PAYPAL_SIGNATURE (api signature)
