I found a better article at: Better Django-paypal article <https://overiq.com/django-paypal-integration-with-django-paypal/>. For the most part, it does a really thorough explanation of what needs to be done. There were some things that I had to adjust myself, but that was easy enough. My God, I feel like I just ran a mental marathon.
