I had some problem with reading zip archive in raw (binary) mode.
I solve it this way
....
open (filename, 'rb').read ().encode('string_escape')
# now we had strings with strange symbols are escaped
# than we can handle it without decoding excepions for example:
body = '\r\n'.join (lines) 
....
# if we have unescaped strings we can get an exception there
# after opertions, we needed we must unescape all content
# and drop it out to network (in my case)
body = body.decode('string-escape')
....
# then we can send so to the server
connection.request('POST', upload_url,  body, headers)
