Wow!  I just went and looked at that project and was really impressed
with the description of their intended audience, which I will quote
below.  It would be great if every project could characterize itself as
succinctly as this:

PycURL is targeted at the advanced developer - if you need dozens of
concurrent fast and reliable connections or any of the sophisiticated
features as listed above then PycURL is for you.

The main drawback with PycURL is that it is a relative thin layer over
libcurl without any of those nice Pythonic class hierarchies. This means
it has a somewhat steep learning curve unless you are already familiar
with libcurl's C API.

To sum up, PycURL is very fast (esp. for multiple concurrent operations)
and very feature complete, but has a somewhat complex interface. If you
need something simpler or prefer a pure Python module you might want to
check out urllib2 and urlgrabber.
