or you can use pycurl

>>> import pycurl
>>> c = pycurl.Curl()
>>> c.setopt(pycurl.URL, "http://www.whatever.com")
>>> c.setopt(pycurl.POST, 1)
>>> filepath = "/path/of/file"
>>> filename = "filename"
>>> c.setopt(pycurl.HTTPPOST, [('userfile', (pycurl.FORM_FILE, file_path, pycurl.FORM_FILENAME, filename))])
>>> c.perform()

read pycurl doc for more details. http://pycurl.sourceforge.net/doc/pycurl.html
