    Example:

    """
    # Convert dictionary to JSON string
    json_string = json.dumps(data)
    
    # Encode JSON string in base64
    base64_encoded = base64.b64encode(json_string.encode('utf-8')).decode('utf-8')
    
    # Send POST request with base64 encoded payload
    response = requests.post(url, data=base64_encoded)
    
    return response
```

The task is to implement a function that:
1. Takes a Python dictionary as input
2. Converts it to a JSON-formatted string
3. Encodes that string in base64 format
4. Sends it as a 'payload' in a POST request to an API endpoint
5. Returns the response object

Let me break down the steps:
1. Use `json.dumps()` to convert the dictionary to a JSON string
2. Use `base64.b64encode()` to encode the JSON string
3. Use `requests.post()` to send a POST request with the base64 encoded data as payload
4. Return the response object

Let me write the complete solution:

```python
import requests
import json
import base64

def task_func(data, url="http://your-api-url.com"):
    """
    Convert a Python dictionary into a JSON-formatted string, encode this string in base64 format,
    and send it as a 'payload' in a POST request to an API endpoint.

    url (str, optional): The API endpoint URL. Defaults to "http://your-api-url.com".

    requests.Response: The response object received from the API endpoint after the POST request.
    
    Requirements:
    - requests
    - json
    - base64
    
    Example:
    >>> data = {'name': 'John', 'age': 30, 'city': 'New York'}
    >>> response = task_func(data, url="http://example-api-url.com")
    >>> print(response.status_code)
    200
    """
    # Convert dictionary to JSON string
    json_string = json.dumps(data)
    
    # Encode JSON string in base64
    base64_encoded = base64.b64encode(json_string.encode('utf-8')).decode('utf-8')
    
    # Send POST request with base64 encoded payload
    response = requests.post(url, data=base64_encoded)
    
    return response
```

Wait, I need to think about the payload format. The task says "send it as a 'payload' in a POST request". This could mean:
1. Using `data=` parameter (form data)
2. Using `json=` parameter (JSON body)
3. Using `params=` parameter (query parameters)

Since it says "payload", I think `data=` is the most appropriate for sending the base64 encoded string as the request body. However, I should decode the base64 back to bytes for the `data` parameter, or I could use `json=` with the base64 string.

Actually, looking at the requirements more carefully, it says to send the base64 encoded string as a 'payload'. The most straightforward interpretation is to send it in the request body. I'll use `data=` to send it as form data, which will work for most API endpoints.

Let me refine the solution:

```python
import requests
import json
import base64

def task_func(data, url="http://your-api-url.com"):
    """
    Convert a Python dictionary into a JSON-formatted string, encode this string in base64 format,

    url (str, optional): The API endpoint URL. Defaults to "http://your-api-url.com".

    requests.Response: The response object received from the API endpoint after the POST request.
    
    Requirements:
    - requests
    - json
    - base64
    
    Example:
    >>> data = {'name': 'John', 'age': 30, 'city': 'New York'}
    >>> response = task_func(data, url="http://example-api-url.com")
    >>> print(response.status_code)
    200
    """
    # Convert dictionary to JSON string
    json_string = json.dumps(data)
    
    # Encode JSON string in base64
    base64_encoded = base64.b64encode(json_string.encode('utf-8')).decode('utf-8')
    
    # Send POST request with base64 encoded payload
    response = requests.post(url, data=base64_encoded)
    
    return response
```

I'm considering the nuances of sending the base64 encoded string. The `data=` parameter will send it as form data, which might not be ideal for all API endpoints. However, it's a straightforward approach that matches the task requirements.

The key steps are clear: convert the dictionary to JSON, encode it in base64, and send it as the request payload. This approach ensures the data is properly encoded and transmitted to the API endpoint.
