Description

Describe the bug
Hi there Postman-Team,

I noticed that the code generator for python has issues with a edge case of form-data. I send a zip file along with a string as form-data. Here is a screenshot (I will export the request for u as well :))

To Reproduce
Import the collection and try out the code generation.
Okay I tried to add the json file, but it is not allowed. (You should support that since this is your export format). Here as zip:
export.postman_collection.json.zip

Expected code snippet and corresponding request
I adapted the generated code and the following did work for me:
`
import requests

url = "http://127.0.0.1:5002/executors"

payload={}
files=[
('executor',('iris_classifier.zip',open('/Users/r2d2/dev/IAPP-TESTING/iris_classifier.zip','rb'),'application/zip')),
('executor_name', (None,'name',None))
]
headers = {
'auth_key': '123'
}

response = requests.request("POST", url, headers=headers, data=payload, files=files)

print(response.text)
`

POSTMAN VERSION
I used Version 9.31.0 (9.31.0) on macosx.

Thx in advance. I hope this helps you to improve your already great product even further <3.

Research direction

Start by importing the attached export.postman_collection.json.zip and generating the Python request for its multipart form-data body. Compare the generated output with the working requests example in the issue, focusing on the zip file and string field; done means both fields are represented correctly and the generated request works.
