How to execute the following command using Python?

Question

It would be a great help if somebody helps me to understand how the following command can be executed using python:

curl -X POST https://insights-collector.newrelic.com/v1/accounts/YOUR_ACCOUNT_ID/events -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "X-Insert-Key: YOUR_KEY_HERE" -d '{"eventType":"Custom Event Name", "attribute1": "value"}'

SQL query results need to be converted to JSON format and need to be pushed to new relic using the above command.
