I know for a fact that you can do file uploads with PycURL as I'm
doing so but I'm using HTTP PUT. I would assume that since that works
that it would work for HTTP POSTing as well. In the libcurl docs you
might want to look at the section on CURLOPT_POST for the
curl_easy_setopt() function.

I would also suggest asking the same question on the PycURL lists.
