upload a file using python requests module

I am trying to upload a file using python requests module and i am not sure whether we can use both data and files in the post call.

fileobj= open(filename,'rb')
upload_data = {
    'data':payload,
    'file':fileobj
}

resp = s.post(upload_url,data=upload_data,headers=upload_headers)

and this is not working. So can anyone help me with this ?

I think you should be using the data and files keyword parameters in the post request to send the data and file respectively.

with open(filename,'rb') as fileobj:
    files = {'file': fileobj}
    resp = s.post(upload_url,data=payload,files=files,headers=upload_headers)

I've also use a context manager just because it closes the file for me and takes care of exceptions that happen either during file opening or during something that happens with the requests post.
