Posting data using MultipartPostHandler in Python

Question

I want to use http post to upload data to a webserver but I want to pass multiple arguments within the post i.e. I know that you can load one item (data)in there like this:

 data = {"data":open(filename,"rb")}
 response = opener.open(url, data, timeout=TIMEOUT)

but now I want multiple so I tried this:

 multipart = ({"data":data}, {"fname":fname}, {"f":f})
 response = opener.open(url, multipart, timeout=TIMEOUT)

but I get an error saying "'tuple' object has no attribute 'items'"... how do I do this correctly?

Answer 1

You're no longer providing a dictionary, but a tuple of dictionaries. What you want to do is use a single dictionary:

multipart = {"data":data, "fname":fname, "f":f}

That should achieve what you want.
