You are submitting the form directly to PayPal, so obviously your server
will not get the data. You have two options:
1. Instead, submit the form to your web2py app, and then use urllib2 or
the requests library to post the data from your server to PayPal (in that
case, the user will not be redirected to the PayPal page -- not sure if
that matters).
2. Use Javascript to capture the form submission and (a) first send an
Ajax request with the form data to your web2py app, and then (b) submit the
form as usual to the PayPal URL.
