get_login = requests.get('https://paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_login-run')
get_login_response = get_login.text.encode('utf-8') #printing html source
get_login_html = lxml.html.fromstring(get_login_response) #printing <Element html at 0x7f19cb242ec0>
auth = get_login_html.xpath("//input[@name='auth']/@value") #printing [<InputElement 7fb0971e9f18 name='auth' type='hidden'>]
login_url = get_login_html.xpath("//form[@name='login_form']/@action")

# Post Login
payload = {
'login_cmd':'',

Answer 1

you need to use proxy so that the request wont be from one ip address to avoid reCAPTCHA

import requests
import lxml.html

# Get Auth & Login URL
get_login = requests.get('https://paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_login-run')
get_login_response = get_login.text.encode('utf-8') #printing html source
get_login_html = lxml.html.fromstring(get_login_response) #printing <Element html at 0x7f19cb242ec0>
auth = get_login_html.xpath("//input[@name='auth']/@value") #printing [<InputElement 7fb0971e9f18 name='auth' type='hidden'>]
login_url = get_login_html.xpath("//form[@name='login_form']/@action")

# Post Login
payload = {
'login_cmd':'',
'login_params':'',
'login_email':'[email protected]',
'login_password':'jancok666',
'auth':auth[0],
'submit.x':'Log In',
'form_charset':'UTF-8',
'browser_name':'Firefox',
'browser_version':'18',
'browser_version_full':'18.0'
}

#proxy
proxy = {
 'https': '1.2.3.4:1234',
 'http': '1.2.3.4:1234'
}
post_login = requests.post(login_url[0], data=payload, proxies=proxy)
post_login_response = post_login.text.encode('utf-8')

print post_login_response

LIKE SO, YOU SHOULDNT GET CAPTCHA AGAIN.... :)
