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

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": [
    {
      "index": 1,
      "id": "deploy-job",
      "name": "deploy-job",
      "group": "DEV",
      "project": "SOF",
      "permalink": "<RUNDECK_URL>/job/show/deploy-job"
    }
  ],
  "failed": [],
  "skipped": []
}

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()
