Rundeck API to upload job using python pycurl fails to upload file - pycurl

Question

I'm trying to implement rundeck job import functionality using pycurl in python, fails to find the file. Curl version of the same works fine.
def importRundeckJOB(jobConfigFilePath):
responseObject = BytesIO()
rd = pycurl.Curl()
rd.setopt(rd.URL, RUNDECK_API_END_POINT)
rd.setopt(rd.HTTPHEADER, ['X-Rundeck-Auth-Token: '+RUNDECK_TOKEN,
"Accept: application/json"])
rd.setopt(rd.HTTPPOST, [("dupeOption", "update"),
("fileformat", "yaml"),
("xmlBatch", jobConfigFilePath )])
rd.setopt(rd.WRITEFUNCTION, responseObject.write)
rd.perform()
responseCode = rd.getinfo(rd.HTTP_CODE)
rd.close()
Error ::
{'error': True, 'apiversion': 17, 'errorCode': 'api.error.jobs.import.missing-file', 'message': 'No file was uploaded'}
Working curl
curl --header X-Rundeck-Auth-Token:<TOKEN> -F xmlBatch=#"<FILE_PATH>" -F dupeOption=update -F fileformat=yaml <RUNDECK_API_END_POINT>/import
{
"succeeded": [

}
],

}

i've found a solution, i need to an additional parameter to handle files.
http://pycurl.io/docs/latest/quickstart.html#file-upload-multipart-post
c.FORM_FILE
Working solution
def importRundeckJOB(jobConfigFilePath):
responseObject = BytesIO()
rd = pycurl.Curl()
rd.setopt(rd.URL, RUNDECK_API_END_POINT)
rd.setopt(rd.HTTPHEADER, ['X-Rundeck-Auth-Token: '+RUNDECK_TOKEN,
"Accept: application/json"])
rd.setopt(rd.HTTPPOST, [("dupeOption", "update"),
("fileformat", "yaml"),
("xmlBatch", (rd.FORM_FILE, jobConfigFile))])
rd.setopt(rd.WRITEFUNCTION, responseObject.write)
rd.perform()
responseCode = rd.getinfo(rd.HTTP_CODE)
rd.close()
