Execute curl in Python

Question

I need to execute this command in Python:

curl "http://robot:<automation secret>@127.0.0.1/monitor/check_mk/webapi.py?action=edit_host" -d 'request={"attributes": {"tag_check_puppet": "check_puppet"}, "hostname":"test.test.ch"}'

Problem is i'm new to python and it needs to be dynamic, so i can adapt it with variables like the hostname and tag_check_puppet value.

Any idea how to help me?

curl converters: curl.trillworks.com and shibukawa.github.io/curl_as_dsl . Or use subprocess module — furas

You can use the requests library for that:

import requests
requests.post("http://robot:<automation secret>@127.0.0.1/monitor/check_mk/webapi.py?action=edit_host", data={"attributes": {"tag_check_puppet": "check_puppet"}, "hostname":"test.test.ch"})

If you are used to working with curl, you might want to try out the pyCURL package.
