Description: PycURL -- A Python Interface To The cURL library

        ================================================

        PycURL is a Python interface to `libcurl`_, the multiprotocol file

        transfer library. Similarly to the urllib_ Python module,

        PycURL can be used to fetch objects identified by a URL from a Python program.

        Beyond simple fetches however PycURL exposes most of the functionality of

        libcurl, including:

        - Speed - libcurl is very fast and PycURL, being a thin wrapper above

          libcurl, is very fast as well. PycURL `was benchmarked`_ to be several

          times faster than requests_.

        - Features including multiple protocol support, SSL, authentication and

          proxy options. PycURL supports most of libcurl's callbacks.

        - Multi_ and share_ interfaces.

        - Sockets used for network operations, permitting integration of PycURL

          into the application's I/O loop (e.g., using Tornado_).
