Hi all!

May I request that some python sample code be posted uploading a local file, ideally using the requests module (which seems to be relatively canonical)? I don't think I'm the first to be stymied by mw:API:Upload (cf. Boxsnake's 18-month old unanswered question at mw:API_talk:Upload ; also http://stackoverflow.com/questions/33839706/simplest-way-to-upload-a-file-to... where the answer was essentially "give up and use a bot framework").

Essentially, I cannot seem to avoid getting a "badupload_file"/"File upload param file is not a file upload; be sure to use multipart/form-data for your POST and include a filename in the Content-Disposition header."

I am under the impression I am doing both of those things, my headers are:

{'Content-Type': 'multipart/form-data', 'Content-Disposition': 'form-data; name="file"; filename="storkk_test_upload1.jpg"', 'User-Agent': 'Drudgebane Storkksbot (contact [[C:User:Storkk]]) Based on python requests/2.11.1', 'Connection': 'keep-alive', 'Content-Length': '93990', 'Cookie': 'forceHTTPS=true; commonswiki_BPsession=...(elided)...', 'Accept-Encoding': 'gzip, deflate', 'Accept': '*/*'}

The full code (with a slightly different filename test), trying a few different things, is at http://pastebin.com/PxLk85mR

I would greatly appreciate some pointers on where I am going wrong.

Thanks for your time,
