Python-scriptlines required to make upload-files from JSON-Call

Question

Lacking experience & routine for Python-programming. 'Borrowing' examples from forums have made a script which successfully makes a JSON-cal (to Domoticz) and generates & prints the derived JSON-file and XML-file: see below, with 'generalized' adresses. login-info etc.. But for further upload of those JSON-file and XML-file to another computer apparently a file-conversion is missing, because lines 38 and 39 give an error report. Therefore assistance/hints/examples requested to fill in lines 14 and 17 of the below script, and probably also line 27 needs a related adaptation. [line 10 is 'broken' to fit in the code-block]

content_test = page.read()
obj_test = json.loads(content_test)
print(obj_test)
# HERE A LINE IS MISSING to convert obj_test for upload in line 38
xml_test = dicttoxml.dicttoxml(obj_test)
print(xml_test)

upload(ftp, "obj_test")
upload(ftp, "xml_test")
# upload(ftp, "file.txt")
# upload(ftp, "sightings.jpg")

Answer 1

The code below is making all required calls and conversions, as well as the upload to a selected ftp-server on LAN or on Internet. Next step is extraction of info from the JSON-file or XML-file, but that is another aspect than this question.
