I need to convert a file to readable stream to upload through api, there is a node js example which uses fs.createReadStream. Can any body tell me what is python equivalent of the aforesaid statement ?

example 

const axios = require('axios');
const fs = require('fs');
const FormData = require('form-data');

export const pinFileToIPFS = (pinataApiKey, pinataSecretApiKey) => {
    const url = `https://api.pinata.cloud/pinning/pinFileToIPFS`;

    //we gather a local file for this example, but any valid readStream source will work here.
    let data = new FormData();
    data.append('file', fs.createReadStream('./yourfile.png'));

How can i replicate above in pythonic way?

open() in Python does what fs.createReadStream() does in Node.JS.
