In my case i had to zip a file before sending it, so i was worried about
having to open the file, zip the content, write a new file and send it, so
i did something like this:

So, the relevant parts of my code (showing the use and some useful stuff
alltogether):

-----------------------------------------------------------------
import pycurl
import gzip
from StringIO import StringIO as sio

c = pycurl.Curl()

with open('teste.xml', 'r') as xml_file:
    xml_content = xml_file.read()

ziped = sio()
with gzip.GzipFile(fileobj=ziped, mode='w') as f:
    f.write(xml_content)

run_data = ziped.getvalue()

data = [..... ('file_to_upload', (c.FORM_BUFFER, 'upate_config',
                                          c.FORM_BUFFERPTR, run_data))]

c.setopt(c.HTTPPOST, data)

c.perform()
c.close()

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Hope it helps someone : )
