How do i install pyCurl?

问题:

I am VERY new to python. I used libcurl with no problems and used pyCurl once in the past. Now i want to set it up on my machine and dev. However i have no idea how to do it. I rather not DL libcirl files and compile that along with pycurl, i want to know the simplest method. I have libcurl installed on my machine.

i'm on windows, i tried DLing the sources and use pycurl setup script, i had no luck.

回答1:

TL,DR

Get a binary from this website: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/

Direct links: 2.6 32bit, 2.7 32bit,2.6 64bit, 2.7 64bit

For pycURL, both pip and easy_install will fail on Windows.

I also tried to download and install the pycURL package manually, after downloading cURL, but that didn't work either, even if specifying the CURL_DIR ( it complained that it cannot find 'lib\libcurl.lib' ). From what I can gather from the README, what it needs in the CURL_DIR is the source distribution of cURL, not the executable.

Downloading the precompiled version from the official pycURL repository will probably get you nowhere, because it requires Python 2.5. It will not work with 2.6.

The only easy way at the moment seems to be this unofficial release. It an executable installer, and I have used it without any issues with Python 2.6. A version for Python 2.7 is available from the same site.

You might also want to consider using requests, a popular alternative to pycURL. It's a pleasure to use, and is actively developed.

Depends on platform. Here on ubuntu it's as simple as:

sudo aptitude install python-pycurl

It's common enough a package to think that most major Linux distributions will have it in their sources.

If you're on windows, you'll need cURL too. Then you can install pycurl which comes wrapped in an installer.

回答4:

According to http://bazaar-vcs.org/PyCurl

Since Windows does not come with neither cURL or pycURL, Windows users will have to install both.

cURL downloads: http://curl.haxx.se/download.html.

pycURL downloads: http://pycurl.sourceforge.net/download/.

Both links contain Linux (and other *Nix) tarballs/packages and Windows installer files.

There are windows installers at both links, hopefully they will work for you.

回答5:

As it has been said already, it depends on the platform.

In general, I prefer to use only the Python interpreter itself that is packaged for my OS and install everything else in a virtual environment, but this is a whole different story... If you've got setuptools installed, installing most Python packages is as simple as:

easy_install pycurl

回答6:

My environment is Windows 7 and Python 2.7. Although my Windows 7 is 64-bit, my Python 2.7 is 32-bit.

I had success by visiting http://pycurl.sourceforge.net/download/ and downloading and running pycurl-7.19.3.win32-py2.7.msi.

回答7:

Windows: python 3.7.1 Download .msi from https://dl.bintray.com/pycurl/pycurl/ and install, it works perfectly.
