Pip

pycurl problems

Sometimes after installing and importing PyCURL you will see the following error message:

pycurl: libcurl link-time ssl backend (openssl) is different from compile-time ssl backend (none/other)

To correct this you need to uninstall PyCURL and reinstall it correctly:

pip uninstall pycurl
export PYCURL_SSL_LIBRARY=<ssl_lib>
pip install pycurl --global-option="--with-<ssl_lib>"

<ssl_lib> can be openssl or nss depending on your system.
