Python lacks POST request example

[Hendler]

e.g. Maybe one for adding members:

mailchimp_api_root = "https://" + shard + ".api.mailchimp.com/3.0/"
endpoint = mailchimp_api_root + "lists/" + mailchimp_list_id + "/members/"
response = requests.post(endpoint, auth=('apikey', mailchimp_api_key), json=payload, verify=False)

also you should json.dumps(...) the payload you are sending in the data, otherwise it'll result in a JSON Parse Error.

payload = json.dumps({"email_address": email, "status": "subscribed"})
response = requests.post(endpoint, auth=('apikey', mailchimp_api_key), data=payload)

That's not true, @dimmg . If you use the "json" attribute instead of the "data" attribute, it will do the json.dumps() for you.
