   To add some more info, I'm trying to achieve the process known as "Obtaining the BAID Without Express Checkout Purchase" as described in Express Checkout for PayFlow Document Number: 200042.en_US-201306

   Adding the following method to the client appears to work

   def baid_set_checkout(self, setpaypal, amount, extras=[]):
       params = dict(trxtype = "A", action = "S")
       for item in [setpaypal, amount] + extras:
           params.update(item.data)
       return self._do_request(None, params)
   

   And I use it like this:

   setpaypal = SetPaypal(returnurl='https:/domain.org/paypal/baid/return',cancelurl='https://domain.org/paypal/baid/cancel')
   zeroamt = Amount(amt=0.00, currency="USD")
   btype = BillingType(billingtype='MerchantInitiatedBilling')
   extras = [btype]
   r=pclient.baid_set_checkout(setpaypal, zeroamt,extras=extras)
   

   I wonder if I could have achieved this result without modifying the source.
