Batch Paypal Payments

Question

Can you send a paypal payment with a script? I've been googling for this, but I can't seem to find the answer I want (yes) ;-)

An example of what I am talking about: Lets say I have a site where users share in the profit. Instead of sending each users payment out manually at the end of the month, I would like to automate this with code, preferably django / python.

Yes. This page may help: https://cms.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/?cmd=_render-content&content_ID=developer/howto_api_masspay

Clarification edit: Basically you use the mass-pay API call. However, even though it's called mass pay, I believe you can send payments to just one person with it.
