Python HTTP POST binary file upload with pycurl (Python)

Python recipe 576422 by Robert Lujo (django, http, post, upload).

There is a way to upload file with standard python libraries (urllib, httplib, ...) as explained at http://code.activestate.com/recipes/146306/. But that didn't worked for me for binary data. I didn't liked/tried solution explained at http://fabien.seisen.org/python/urllib2_multipart.html, so I tried with pycurl (http://pycurl.sourceforge.net/ wrapper for http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/) because it is std. lib for php, and uploading the file is very simple (just add @<path-to-file> to post variable value). It was a little hard to find proper way because there is no such example or documentation. But I found it, and it is so simple ;)

I supply django test application which receives file that is uploaded.

Python recipe 578846 by István Pásztor (field, file, form, html, httpclient, mime, multipart, post, upload, web). Revision 5.

This code is useful if you are using a http client and you want to simulate a request similar to that of a browser that submits a form containing several input fields (including file upload fields). I've used this with python 2.x.

Python recipe 578669 by Ben Hoyt (callback, file, progress, upload).

Wraps a string in a read-only file-like object, but also calls a user callback with the number of bytes read whenever read() is called on the stream. Used for tracking upload progress, for example for a progress bar in a UI application.

Python recipe 579134 by fuji239 (beautifulsoup, libgen, mechanize, tor, upload). Revision 2.

This script shows how to upload epub files in Library Genesys (libgen) automatically by using Tor. Please note that only copyright free epubs should be used (such as those present in https://www.gutenberg.org/). It will also check if MD5 hash is present before uploading. This is provided for python educative purposes only : it shows how to use a Tor proxy, Mechanize (for uploading and form processing), Hashlib for MD5 calculation, Filemagic for mimetype detecting and BeautifulSoup for response analyzing, all together.
