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_).
