ACCEPTED ANSWER

Score 34

You need to json encode it to get it to a string.

import json 
payload = json.dumps({"on":True})

ANSWER 2

Score 7

Starting from requests 2.4.2, instead of passing in the payload with the data parameter, you can use the json parameter like this:

payload = {'on': True}
requests.put(url, json=payload)

And the request will be formatted correctly as a json payload (i.e. {'on': true}).

ANSWER 3

Score 6

should be {'on': True}, capital T

ANSWER 4

Score 1

to make it be lower case like that (if that's what your endpoint requires) do in quotes {'on':'true'}
