files = {'upload_file': open('small.csv', 'rb')}
url = 'https://www.test.com'
header = {'token', 'abcd'}

Try this. There are some things missing on the request such as types.

import requests

try:
    url = 'https://httpbin.org/post'
    files = {'file': ('report.csv')}

    payload={}
    files=[
    ('file',('report.csv',open('/report.csv','rb'),'text/csv'))
    ]
    headers = {
    'Accept': 'application/json',
    'Authorization': 'Bearer 0000000'
    }

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


except Exception as err:
    print(err)

your dictionary for header has incorrect syntax:

change :

 header = {'token', 'abcd'}

To:

header = {'token': 'abcd'}

dictionary is ordered (from Python 3.6+) collection of key-value

you can generate equalent code of any language binding through postman , just click the code link under the url and select the language . It shows the correct python syntax:
