I was unable to find any Python samples for using the PayPal NVP API, so I went to work writing a helper class for my needs. Hopefully this should be enough to help get others started at least.
This is not a complete reference! Be sure to understand what this class is doing before you try it on production servers! …use it at your own peril.

Also be sure to check the complete reference doc for any error codes returned, as the doc is very helpful.
Update April 3rd, 2008: I’m pleased to discover that this has made its way around the internet:
The Freesound Project based out of Belgium is reimplementing their site in Python and they are using my reference.
A Google Code project called PyPayPal is using it as a reference.
GoCept, a German based company, seems to have implemented it in their content management system.
