Send multipart/form-data string with POST requests, python

Question

I want to send a string through POST request like

#my data string
data='[{ "DeviceNo":"123123123","LogDate":"2018-11-18", "FileName":"X.py", "LogMessage":"Message" }]'

response = requests.post(url,files=data, timeout=20, headers={'Authorization': accessToken})

I dont know how to send this data. Don't know if "files=data" is a correct usage for that.
