How to update profile image to twitter using REST api?

Is anybody have working code or sample to update Twitter profile image .?

python-oauth2 is good or not .? Shall i use other library for this .. ?

Using : python 2.7 , Django 1.7 python-oauth2

image_post = "https://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/update.json?status=ThisOneWorksPerfectly"
resp, content = client.request(image_post, "POST")

Above code works perfectly fine but i changed that code to update profile image ( See below ... )

From this update_profile_image

image_post = "https://api.twitter.com/1.1/account/update_profile_image.json?image={}".format(encodedImage)
resp, content = client.request(image_post, "POST")

Error: 

'{"errors":[{"message":"Could not authenticate you","code":32}]}'

You should pass the image as a POST parameter, not as a query parameter. You can do so by providing a 3rd parameter (body) to the client.request method, as in:

image_post = "https://api.twitter.com/1.1/account/update_profile_image.json"
resp, content = client.request(image_post, "POST", "image=" + base64EncodedImage)
