Requests don't seem to be able to send dictionaries to eve

[rethore]

Hi, I'm trying to use your demo example with the requests library. It does work fine when sending just the firstname and lastname. But not when sending the location dictionary.

payload = {'firstname': 'lapin', 
           'lastname': 'lauvages3',
           'location': {'address': 'blabla', 'city': 'Paris'}}
r = requests.post('http://127.0.0.1:5000/people', data=payload)
print r.text
print r.url

{"_status": "ERR", "_issues": {"location": "must be of dict type"}, "_error": {"message": "Insertion failure: 1 document(s) contain(s) error(s)", "code": 422}}
http://127.0.0.1:5000/people

But it work fine with curl. I guess I'm missing something in the request code, but I really can't figure it out.

curl -d '{"firstname": "lapin", "lastname": "lauvage3", "location": {"address": "blabla", "city": "Paris"}}'  -H 'Content-Type: application/json'   http://127.0.0.1:5000/people

Do you have any idea what I'm doing wrong? Thanks!

I have figured it out:

payload = {'firstname': 'lapin', 
           'lastname': 'lauvages4',
           'location': {'address': 'blabla', 'city': 'Paris'}}
headers = {'Content-type': 'application/json; charset=utf-8'}
r = requests.post('http://127.0.0.1:5000/people', data=json.dumps(payload), headers=headers)
print r.text
print r.url
