The authorize.net gateway tries to auto-detect the correct endpoint url based on the credentials provided. This requires sending them a test request, which can take 5 seconds when they're having a bad day. This makes the development server annoyingly slow, and means reloading code on the live server takes a long time as well.

If dinero was django specific, it would be very easy to cache this information, so authorize.net was only contacted when the credentials changed. I don't want to depend on django, though, so is there some other way to cache or make this faster?

If you configure dinero like this:

dinero.configure({
    'default': {
        'type': 'dinero.gateways.AuthorizeNet',
        # ...
    }
    })

and then switch gateways:

dinero.configure({
    'default': {
        'type': 'dinero.gateways.Braintree',
        # ...
    }
    })

Oops, now all of your existing transactions won't work any more.

What if instead of using the name of the gateway to determine the default, it was something like:

dinero.configure({
    'braintree': {
        'type': 'dinero.gateways.Braintree',
        'default': True,
        # ...
    }, 
    'authorize.net': {
        'type': 'dinero.gateways.AuthorizeNet',
        # ...
    }
    })

Then the default could be safely changed without invalidating all existing transactions.

I thought it would be nice to do something like this:

>>> customer = dinero.Customer.retrieve('xxx')
>>> card = customer.cards[0]
>>> print 'Card on File:'
>>> print '{} ({})'.format(card.card_type, card.last_4)

But it doesn't work. This seems to be a limitation on the Authorize.net side though.

I thought I would just report this in case anybody else was having this problem.

args[0], args[0][0][1] ... this is kind a of unreadable.

It would be nice to have explicit __init__ on DineroException so that we know what's happening.

Like:

class DineroException:
    def __init__(self, message):
       self.message = message
       super().__init__(message)

dinero needs to support the Braintree S2S payment gateway.
