Python requests, multipart without files

Is it possible to send a multipart/form-data with python requests without sending a file?

My requests header should look like this:

--3eeaadbfda0441b8be821bbed2962e4d
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="value";

content
--3eeaadbfda0441b8be821bbed2962e4d--

But actually it looks like this:

--3eeaadbfda0441b8be821bbed2962e4d
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="file"; filename="file"
Content-Type: text/plain

content
--3eeaadbfda0441b8be821bbed2962e4d--

I'm using this function:

response = requests.post('url', data, files=('file', 'file'))

Yes, you could, just pass dictionary with tuples as values to post method. When you specify files parameter to this method requests add multipart/form-data header. But you free to pass dictionary with tuples as files:

url = 'http://httpbin.org/post' 
files = {'file': (None, 'some,data,to,send\nanother,row,to,send\n')}
r = requests.post(url, files=files)
