At this point, the documentation is the code itself. When in doubt, I
look there first. The HTTPPOST code handles the arguments as FORMTYPE,
argument pairs. This looks a lot like the interface used here:

http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/curl_formadd.html

I believe that the following should work for you:

        pf = [(pycurl.FORM_FILE, filename, pycurl.FORM_CONTENTTYPE,
        content_type)]
        curl.setopt(pycurl.HTTPPOST, pf)

HTH,
