You aren't the first one to want such a thing and find Python lacking --
I ran into the same problem, and looking at code from someone else
(specifically for posting to flickr), he ended up with the same solution
I did: do it yourself.

The code in question is flickrUp.py -- don't know if it's available
anymore, but I found it in http://crschmidt.net/tmp/flickrUp.py ,
encode_multipart_formdata.

G'luck.
