Answer 1

For python 2.7

sudo apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev libffi-dev python-dev

For python 3.5 also install the next:

sudo apt-get install python3.5-dev

Download the latest pycurl-7.43.0.tar.gz (md5) Source from pypi https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pycurl/7.43.0#downloads and run the next command:

python setup.py --with-openssl install

Also you can do it into python environment:

(test_env)user@pc:~/Downloads/pycurl-7.43.0$ python setup.py --with-openssl install
