Question

Answer 1

I confronted similar issue when I wanted to post image file to a rest API from Python (Not wechat API though). The solution for me was to use 'data' parameter to post the file in binary data instead of 'files'. Requests API reference

data = open('your_image.png','rb').read()
r = requests.post(your_url,data=data)

Hope this works for your case.
