Hello, world

import urlfetch

print len(response.content)

Uploading files

import urlfetch

response = urlfetch.post(
    'http://127.0.0.1:8888/upload',
    headers = {
        'Referer': 'http://127.0.0.1/',
    },
    files = {
        'fieldname1': open('/path/to/file', 'rb'),
        #'fieldname2': 'file content', # file must have a filename
        'fieldname3': ('filename', open('/path/to/file2', 'rb')),
        'fieldname4': ('filename', 'file content'),
    },
    data = {
        'foo': 'bar'
    },
)

print response.status, response.content

Testing

To run the tests, urlfetch relies on bottle and gunicorn. If the tests are run by calling python setup.py test, the dependencies will be handled automatically (via tests_require). So, if you want to run the tests directly, that is, python tests/testall.py, make sure bottle and gunicorn are installed under the PYTHONPATH.
