Python : problem sending email attachment with Greek characters using mailgun

Question

I use this python code to send emails using mailgun :

ATTACHMENTS = ['/temp/export.xls', '/temp/εχπορτ.xlsx']
if ATTACHMENTS != '' :
    ATTACHMENTS = ATTACHMENTS.split(",")


    files = None
    if len(ATTACHMENTS)>0 :
        files = {}
        count=0
        for attachment in ATTACHMENTS:
            with open(attachment,'rb') as f:
                files['attachment['+  str(count) + ']'] = (os.path.basename(attachment), f.read())

            count = count+1
else:
    files=''

...

    r = requests.post(
        MAILGUN_URL ,
        auth=("api", MAILGUN_KEY),
        data={
            "subject": SUBJECT,
            "from": SENDER,
            "to": SEND_TO,
            "html": BODY,
        },
        files=files,        
    )
    
...

This works fine, except the case filename is in Greek characters or file is in text format and contains Greek characters. In this case file totally ignored from attachments.

Can someone helps pleae?

Thanks a lot
