Replicate Curl command with Python Requests -

what syntax transforming following python requests call?

curl -f file=@/your/data.csv http://host/ingest 

i have tried following:

 files = {'file': ('injestable_file', open(temp_file, 'rb'))}  requests.post(url,files=files) 

but not work, corresponding curl command work.

you must not showing exact code because curl command provide , code provide works. see output:

~ curl -f foo=bar -f file=@setup.py https://httpbin.org/post {   "headers": {     "accept": "*/*",     "content-length": "2370",     "connection": "close",     "host": "httpbin.org",     "user-agent": "curl/7.29.0",     "content-type": "multipart/form-data; boundary=----------------------------959364026805"   },   "files": {     "file": "#!/usr/bin/env python\n\nimport sys\nimport os\nimport re\n\nkwargs = {}\nrequires = []\npackages = [\n    \"github3\",\n    \"github3.gists\",\n    \"github3.repos\",\n    \"github3.issues\",\n]\n\ntry:\n    setuptools import setup\n    kwargs['test_suite'] = 'run_tests.collect_tests'\n    kwargs['tests_require'] = ['mock', 'expecter', 'coverage==3.5.2']\n    packages.append('tests')\nexcept importerror:\n    distutils.core import setup  # noqa\n\nif sys.argv[-1] in (\"submit\", \"publish\"):\n    os.system(\"python setup.py sdist upload\")\n    sys.exit()\n\nrequires.extend([\"requests >= 1.2.3\", \"uritemplate.py >= 0.2.0\"])\n\n__version__ = ''\nwith open('github3/__init__.py', 'r') fd:\n    reg = re.compile(r'__version__ = [\\'\"]([^\\'\"]*)[\\'\"]')\n    line in fd:\n        m = reg.match(line)\n        if m:\n            __version__ = m.group(1)\n            break\n\nif not __version__:\n    raise runtimeerror('cannot find version information')\n\nsetup(\n    name=\"github3.py\",\n    version=__version__,\n    description=(\"python wrapper github api\"\n                 \"(http://developer.github.com/v3)\"),\n    long_description=\"\\n\\n\".join([open(\"readme.rst\").read(),\n                                  open(\"history.rst\").read()]),\n    license=open('license').read(),\n    author=\"ian cordasco\",\n    author_email=\"graffatcolmingov@gmail.com\",\n    url=\"https://github3py.readthedocs.org\",\n    packages=packages,\n    package_data={'': ['license', 'authors.rst']},\n    include_package_data=true,\n    install_requires=requires,\n    classifiers=[\n        'development status :: 5 - production/stable',\n        'license :: osi approved',\n        'intended audience :: developers',\n        'programming language :: python',\n        'programming language :: python :: 2',\n        'programming language :: python :: 2.6',\n        'programming language :: python :: 2.7',\n        'programming language :: python :: 3',\n        'programming language :: python :: 3.2',\n        'programming language :: python :: 3.3',\n        'programming language :: python :: implementation :: cpython',\n    ],\n    **kwargs\n)\n"   },   "origin": "...",   "form": {     "foo": "bar"   },   "url": "http://httpbin.org/post",   "data": "",   "args": {},   "json": null 

and interactive python shell:

>>> import pprint pp >>> import requests >>> pp.pprint(requests.post('https://httpbin.org/post', files={'file': ('filename', fd)}).json()) {u'args': {},  u'data': u'',  u'files': {u'file': u"#!/usr/bin/env python\n\nimport os\nimport sys\n\nimport requests\n\ntry:\n    setuptools import setup\nexcept importerror:\n    distutils.core import setup\n\nif sys.argv[-1] == 'publish':\n    os.system('python setup.py sdist upload')\n    sys.exit()\n\npackages = [\n    'requests',\n    'requests.packages',\n    'requests.packages.charade',\n    'requests.packages.urllib3',\n    'requests.packages.urllib3.packages',\n    'requests.packages.urllib3.contrib',\n    'requests.packages.urllib3.packages.ssl_match_hostname'\n]\n\nrequires = []\n\nsetup(\n    name='requests',\n    version=requests.__version__,\n    description='python http humans.',\n    long_description=open('readme.rst').read() + '\\n\\n' +\n                     open('history.rst').read(),\n    author='kenneth reitz',\n    author_email='me@kennethreitz.com',\n    url='http://python-requests.org',\n    packages=packages,\n    package_data={'': ['license', 'notice'], 'requests': ['*.pem']},\n    package_dir={'requests': 'requests'},\n    include_package_data=true,\n    install_requires=requires,\n    license=open('license').read(),\n    zip_safe=false,\n    classifiers=(\n        'development status :: 5 - production/stable',\n        'intended audience :: developers',\n        'natural language :: english',\n        'license :: osi approved :: apache software license',\n        'programming language :: python',\n        'programming language :: python :: 2.6',\n        'programming language :: python :: 2.7',\n        'programming language :: python :: 3',\n        'programming language :: python :: 3.3',\n\n    ),\n)\n"},  u'form': {},  u'headers': {u'accept': u'*/*',               u'accept-encoding': u'gzip, deflate, compress',               u'connection': u'close',               u'content-length': u'1748',               u'content-type': u'multipart/form-data; boundary=d76a42fcaca84b3288ea4fa177bdad60',               u'host': u'httpbin.org',               u'user-agent': u'python-requests/1.2.3 cpython/2.7.3 linux/3.2.29'},  u'json': none,  u'origin': u'...',  u'url': u'http://httpbin.org/post'} 

with exception of unicode literals peeking through, code should work perfectly.

please edit post more details including version of requests you're using , far more details data you're trying post. can not when post correct.
