Cannot upload local files about lob-python HOT 7 CLOSED

According to this stackoverflow thread, all you need to do is specify the files kwarg. IE replace these lines with something like the following:

files = None
if 'file' in data and method == 'POST':
    files = {'file': data.pop('file')}
r = self._method_fn_map.get(method)(url = '%s%s' %(self._api_base_url, url_suffix), 
        data = data, auth = (self._api_key, ''), files=files)

I tried it out and it seems to work, though I'm guessing you'd want somewhat more checking than my naive if statement above.

Another workaround I'm using currently is:

def create_object(raw_file_data, **kwargs):
    return lob.Object.make_request(
        method='POST',
        url_suffix=lob.Object._base_url,
        data=kwargs,
        files={'file': raw_file_data})

Interested in seeing urllib2 port, as it would be usable on Google App Engine. Currently, requests lib isn't supported on GAE.

Ill add urllib2 instead of requests. Are there any other libs that arent supported on GAE?

@StuartAxelOwen Where did you see that GAE does not supports requests lib?

Just tried running it in the GAE development environment. GAE supports relatively few C-based libs: https://developers.google.com/appengine/kb/libraries

Actually, looks like I'm wrong here: https://github.com/kennethreitz/requests/issues/498
