Es un viejo hilo, pero sigue siendo muy popular, así que aquí está mi contribución única a través de módulos estándar.
La idea es la misma que here pero es compatible con Python 2.xy Python 3.x. También tiene un generador de cuerpo para evitar el uso innecesario de memoria.
import codecs
import mimetypes
import sys
import uuid
try:
import io
except ImportError:
pass # io is requiered in python3 but not available in python2
class MultipartFormdataEncoder(object):
def __init__(self):
self.boundary = uuid.uuid4().hex
self.content_type = 'multipart/form-data; boundary={}'.format(self.boundary)
@classmethod
def u(cls, s):
if sys.hexversion < 0x03000000 and isinstance(s, str):
s = s.decode('utf-8')
if sys.hexversion >= 0x03000000 and isinstance(s, bytes):
s = s.decode('utf-8')
return s
def iter(self, fields, files):
"""
fields is a sequence of (name, value) elements for regular form fields.
files is a sequence of (name, filename, file-type) elements for data to be uploaded as files
Yield body's chunk as bytes
"""
encoder = codecs.getencoder('utf-8')
for (key, value) in fields:
key = self.u(key)
yield encoder('--{}\r\n'.format(self.boundary))
yield encoder(self.u('Content-Disposition: form-data; name="{}"\r\n').format(key))
yield encoder('\r\n')
if isinstance(value, int) or isinstance(value, float):
value = str(value)
yield encoder(self.u(value))
yield encoder('\r\n')
for (key, filename, fd) in files:
key = self.u(key)
filename = self.u(filename)
yield encoder('--{}\r\n'.format(self.boundary))
yield encoder(self.u('Content-Disposition: form-data; name="{}"; filename="{}"\r\n').format(key, filename))
yield encoder('Content-Type: {}\r\n'.format(mimetypes.guess_type(filename)[0] or 'application/octet-stream'))
yield encoder('\r\n')
with fd:
buff = fd.read()
yield (buff, len(buff))
yield encoder('\r\n')
yield encoder('--{}--\r\n'.format(self.boundary))
def encode(self, fields, files):
body = io.BytesIO()
for chunk, chunk_len in self.iter(fields, files):
body.write(chunk)
return self.content_type, body.getvalue()
demostración
# some utf8 key/value pairs
fields = [('প্রায়', 42), ('bar', b'23'), ('foo', 'ން:')]
files = [('myfile', 'image.jpg', open('image.jpg', 'rb'))]
# iterate and write chunk in a socket
content_type, body = MultipartFormdataEncoder().encode(fields, files)
Finalmente una solución que funcione para Python 3 con solamente la biblioteca estándar. –
