Unable to encode lists with elements that are not 2-tuples when sending to remote processor

[mytoursapp]

I have a Raspberry Pi configured to use spreads (not via the spreadpi, but via the archivist build as this wouldn't install, see - https://github.com/DIYBookScanner/spreadpi/issues/36).

I have scanned a book and wanted to send it to a post processing server. The other server seems to acknowledge the request but when the pi tries to send it errors out:

Any ideas of the error?

You seem to be using a pretty old version of requests. Try to upgrade it with pip install -U requests and try again.

Yep - That was it! All working now.
