Is it possible to post audio files with the python requests library

I'm considering using the Python Requests library to post mp3s to an api, but all the examples of posting files in the documentation are for text files. Is it possible to use this library for audio?

Yes, it is possible to send any sequence of bytes with the library:

with open(audiofile, 'rb') as fobj:
    requests.post(url, files={'fieldname': fobj})

In fact, the first multipart-encoded file example in the requests documentation posts a binary file:

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

>>> r = requests.post(url, files=files)
>>> r.text
{
  ...
  "files": {
    "file": "<censored...binary...data>"
  },
  ...
}
