Help getting started with Pycurl / libcurl ?

[gjzusenet]

Hi

I just couldn't google up any docs or tutorial on how to set up
everything necessary to use pycurl on windows.

When I try running the pycurl setup I get a 'CURL_DIR' not found error,
but no where can I find a detailed explanation of what is this dir,
what dlls I need to install and where etc.

It's also somewhat confusing in the pycurl docs - do I need cURL or
libcurl??

Any help would be much appreciated.
