When you’re using Basic Authentication, you can’t just pass the {username}:{password} string; you need to base64-encode it.
So your line
'Authorization': 'Basic ' + WP_USER + ':' + WP_APPLICATION_PASSWORD
should be more like
'Authorization': 'Basic ' + base64( WP_USER + ':' + WP_APPLICATION_PASSWORD )
(I don’t know how Python does base64, but it looks like you’re already importing a related library in your Python snippet.)
