Python equivalent to PHP Post - php

Question

I am working with legacy system, and the previous programmer has gone. Here is the test he left and I have no idea how to imitate his test using Python.
Here is test.php
var tHost = "10.1.10.123";
var tExiname = "CloudHM TEST123";
var tIncname = "INC012345";
var tHWname = "aa 1111 0";
var tHwattr = "all";
var tStatus = 0;
var tCteatedat = "2016-05-23 12:20:42";
var d = new Date,
tUpdateat = [d.getFullYear(),
d.getMonth()+1,
d.getDate()].join('-')+' '+
[d.getHours(),
d.getMinutes(),
d.getSeconds()].join(':');
var arr = [{ host: tHost, host_name: tExiname, component_type: tHWname, component_status: tStatus, incident_created: tUpdateat }];
var arr2 =JSON.stringify(arr)
$.ajax({
url: 'http://customer.beenets.net/api/cloudhm/api.php' ,
type: 'POST',
data: { params: arr2 },
success: function(msg) {
//ShowOutput(msg);
alert(JSON.stringify(arr, null, 4));
}
})
I had tried this. Response is 200, but PHP server read no payload
notification_data = [{
"host": i.host,
"host_name": i.host_name,
"incident_created": i.incident_created,
"component_type": i.component_type,
"component_status": i.component_status
}]
response = requests.post(NOC_BEENETS_URL, data=json.dumps(notification_data))
Then I try put params key in front of it
notification_data = [{
"params":{
"host": i.host,
"host_name": i.host_name,
"incident_created": i.incident_created,
"component_type": i.component_type,
"component_status": i.component_status
}
}]
response = requests.post(NOC_BEENETS_URL, data=json.dumps(notification_data))
Server return me 200 and read no payload again.

Edited:
notification_data = [{
"host": i.host,
"host_name": i.host_name,
"incident_created": i.incident_created,
"component_type": i.component_type,
"component_status": i.component_status
}]
r = requests.post(NOC_BEENETS_URL, data = {'params': json.dumps(notification_data)})
