When I want to do this I use this little class to build the list of nested
tuple that you need.

class CurlForm(list):
  def add_string(self, name, str, type=None):
    options = [pycurl.FORM_CONTENTS, str]
    self.__add_optional(options, pycurl.FORM_CONTENTTYPE, type)
    self += (name, tuple(options)),

  def add_file(self, name, file, type=None, filename=None):
    assert file is not __builtins__.file

    options = [pycurl.FORM_FILE, file]
    self.__add_optional(options, pycurl.FORM_CONTENTTYPE, type)
    self.__add_optional(options, pycurl.FORM_FILENAME, filename)
    self += (name, tuple(options)),

  @staticmethod
  def __add_optional(list, flag, val):
    if val is not None:
      list += flag, val

The code in pycurl that handles this option is at
http://pycurl.cvs.sourceforge.net/pycurl/pycurl/src/pycurl.c?revision=1.116&view=markup&pathrev=REL_7_15_5_1#l_1670
which is easy to follow.
