Sending data Curl/Json in Python

Question

I`m trying to make those 2 requests in python:

Request 1:

 curl -X POST -H \"Content-Type: application/json\" -d \'{ \"auth_token\": \"auth1\", \"w         


        

Answer 1

why not use urllib2?

import urllib2
import urllib

vsphere_dict = dict(
    server_name="servername",
    api_version=apiVersion,
    guest_count=guestCount,
    guest_on=guestOnLen,
    guest_off=guestOffLen,
)
# create request object, set url and post data
req = urllib2.Request(some_url, data=urllib.urlencode(vsphere_dict))
# set header
req.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
# send request
response = urllib2.urlopen(req)

UPD:

sorry, by i not understand that is auth and widget. Maybe this is also POST data? HTTP Error 500 - can mean that server received not all POST parameters.
