Python Requests Multipart HTTP POST

Question

I was wondering how do you translate something like this using Python Requests? In urllib2, you can manually manipulate the data that is being sent over the wire to the API

Answer 1

I found out that in the python-requests library (v.0.13.3), your data will get wiped if you include the "data" field before the "files" field in the request call itself.

For example,

requests.post(url, headers=headers, data=data, files=files) 

will yield empty form-data. However, the following will send the data dictionary as form-data

requests.post(url, headers=headers, files=files, data=data)

Thanks everyone for their answers
