I am not able to install pycurl on Windows on Python2.6. Getting following error:

C:\Documents and Settings\vijayendra\Desktop\Downloads\pycurl-7.19.0>python setup.py install --curl-dir="C:\Documents and Settings\vijayendra\Desktop\Downloads\
curl-7.19.5-win32-ssl\curl-7.19.5"
Using curl directory: C:\Documents and Settings\vijayendra\Desktop\Downloads\curl-7.19.5-win32-ssl\curl-7.19.5
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "setup.py", line 210, in <module>
    assert os.path.isfile(o), o
AssertionError: C:\Documents and Settings\vijayendra\Desktop\Downloads\curl-7.19.5-win32-ssl\curl-7.19.5\lib\libcurl.lib

Any idea what is this error about and how to fix this?

  • The same problem: pycurl developers didn't find useful to support python 2.6 on windows (more than year after general release!). We will not use this library anymore. – Konstantin Tenzin Nov 09 '09 at 15:36

Andelf's answer didn't work on my Win 7 x64 machine, but Christoph Gohlke's site has a package that works for me.

    +1 for providing an answer that actually works. Christop Gohlke's site has PycURL win32 exe's for 32 & 64-bit and for python 2.6 & python 2.7. – Mark Mikofski Mar 14 '12 at 17:28
  • UrlGrabber install worked like a champ for me after using Gohlke's PyCurl installer. – Adolph Trudeau Apr 17 '12 at 13:43

    @RossFabricant - I downloaded PycURL for 64-bit Python 2.7, but got the following message `ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified procedure could not be found.` when I tried importing pycurl. Do you have any idea what I need to do? – Vincent Tjeng Jul 19 '14 at 20:42

http://wiki.woodpecker.org.cn/moin/PyCurl?action=AttachFile&do=view&target=pycurl-7.20.1-bin-win32-py26.zip

unzip it and copy all to your site-packages :)

You install pyCURL on Windows via the provided win32-specific binaries.

I built pycurl without ssl today for urlgrabber 3.9 and it worked. the dir i used was c:\Pycurl-7.19.0 and same as --curl-dir ,as given CURL_DIR in setup.py, but with fresh compiled libcurl.lib from sources using vc express 08, inside the dir in respective places ie it needs some include files also. try running after the step above for the next err or just check setup.py.

    some of us are using python because we don't have C. so recompiling from source and all that entails for the latest versions (last pycurl on windows was from 2008) is more than we were expecting for a supported Binding... YMMV – Neon22 Jan 08 '12 at 23:26
