Urllib error when trying to use list inside a form-data #1394

Describe the bug

I have an API that accepts a JSON list inside form-data, so the request is expected to look like this:

input=[{...}, {...}]

However, when I pass the list to the generated client, the request fails with the following error.

Could you please take a look and let me know what might be going wrong here?

from openapi_client import ApiClient, Configuration, DefaultApi, SubmitPostRequestInput, SubmitItem

config = Configuration()
config.host = "https://api.example.com"
api_client = ApiClient(configuration=config)
api_instance = DefaultApi(api_client)


request_input = SubmitPostRequestInput(
    [
        SubmitItem(flag1=True, flag2=False),
        SubmitItem(flag1=False, flag2=True)
    ]
)
api_instance.submit_post(input=request_input, inlcude_ses=True)

With the generated client and the code above I am getting the following error

TypeError: a bytes-like object is required, not 'list'
