What is the syntax for transforming the following into a Python requests call?
curl -F file=@/your/data.csv http://host/ingest
I have tried the following:
files = {'file': ('injestable_file', open(temp_file, 'rb'))}
requests.post(url,files=files)
but this does not work, but the corresponding curl command does work.
You must not be showing your exact code because the curl command you provide and the code you provide works. See my output:
~ curl -F foo=bar -F [email protected] https://httpbin.org/post

With the exception of the unicode literals peeking through, your code should work perfectly.
