Hello,

Thanks for your gist.

I have a question though. When you write:

'recipient':{ { 'id':recipient_id } },

How can it be read by python? This object looks invalid.
I've tried to reuse it myself, but it's failing (Python 3x). (And I'm very interested in how to send an image to a Facebook bot)
