you should try like this

def frame_xml(AddressVerified,AmountPaid):
    xml_data = """<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
    <entry xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ado/2007/08/dataservices"  xmlns:m="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ado/2007/08/dataservices/ metadata" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">
    <category scheme="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ado/2007/08/dataservices/scheme" term="SS.WebData.Order" />
     <title />
     <author>
     <name />
     </author>
     <id />
     <content type="application/xml">
     <m:properties>
       <d:AddressVerified m:type="Edm.Byte">%s</d:AddressVerified>
       <d:AmountPaid m:type="Edm.Decimal">%s</d:AmountPaid>
     </m:properties>
    </content>
   </entry>"""%(AddressVerified,AmountPaid)
   return xml_data

headers = {'Content-Type': 'application/xml'}
xml_data = frame_xml('AddressVerified','AmountPaid')
print requests.post('https://data.shipstation.com/1.2/Orders', data=xml_data, headers=headers).text

Use Python requests module. Some examples you can find on quick-start page:

>>> payload = {'key1': 'value1', 'key2': 'value2'}
>>> r = requests.post("http://httpbin.org/post", data=payload)
>>> print r.text
    ...

Or

>>> url = 'http://httpbin.org/post'
>>> files = {'file': open('report.xls', 'rb')}

>>> r = requests.post(url, files=files)
    ...
