Does GAE support pycurl ?

I have downloaded the pycurl setup (pycurl-ssl-7.18.2.win32-py2.5.exe) from this link :http://pycurl.sourceforge.net/download/ . And setup was installed in C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\curl

Now how can in integrate pycurl with Google app engine project ?

@Nijin Narayanan no google appengine don't allow you install third package by yourself — timger, Aug 22 '11 at 06:55
@timger You can use third-party packages, just not ones that use C modules. — Nick Johnson, Aug 22 '11 at 07:02
@timger That is not correct. You can install 3rd party python modules, as long as they are pure python. Any packages that have compiled C libraries will not work. — arunkumar, Aug 22 '11 at 07:02
@Nick So i can use pucurl with Gae is it ? how can i use pycurl in gae project? — Nijin Narayanan, Aug 22 '11 at 08:08
@Nijn No, you can't, since as others have pointed out, it uses a C module. — Nick Johnson, Aug 23 '11 at 00:41

http://pycurl.sourceforge.net/:

PycURL is a Python interface to libcurl [...]

You can't use PycURL on GAE since it requires this C library.

As the commenters said, use the native URL Fetch API for similar functionality.
