You can't do it through USPS. They use SOAP/XML for their endpoints with absolutely no client libraries or documentation to support you, but you can use Easypost to connect to USPS today using Python.
import easypost
import os
client = easypost.EasyPostClient(os.getenv("EASYPOST_API_KEY"))
shipment = client.shipment.create(
to_address=to_address,
from_address=from_address,
parcel={
"predefined_package": "Parcel",
"weight": 28,
},
)
client.shipment.buy(
shipment.id,
rate=shipment.lowest_rate(),
)
