r = requests.post(url, data=json.dumps(payload))


url = 'https://api.github.com/some/endpoint'

# It is strongly recommended that you open files in binary mode. This is because Requests may attempt to provide the 
# Content-Length header for you, and if it does this value will be set to the number of bytes in the file. Errors may occur # if you open the file in text mode.
