- cURL must be installed
- PycUrl must be installed.
- Python-dev should be installed
NOTE: PycURL must not be binded with GnuTLS (Unfortunately at least Debian based distribution has wrong SSL library binded with; OpenSSL should be used instead) in order to work properly.
-
sudo apt-get install curl
-
sudo apt-get install python-dev
-
PycURL build from source; see information below
If connection establishemnt failes with message then GnuTLS is used for SSL connections:
gnutls_handshake() failed: A TLS fatal alert has been received.
Then OpenSSL must be used for SSH connections. Verify GnuTLS:
>>> import pycurl
>>> pycurl.version
'libcurl/7.22.0 GnuTLS/2.12.14 zlib/1.2.3.4 libidn/1.23 librtmp/2.3'
-
sudo apt-get install build-essential fakeroot dpkg-dev
-
sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev
-
mkdir ~/python-pycurl-openssl
-
cd ~/python-pycurl-openssl
-
apt-get source python-pycurl
-
cd pycurl_7.19.0
-
Edit the debian/control file and replace all instances of "libcurl4-gnutls-dev" to "libcurl4-openssl-dev"
-
Edit the debian/pathes/10_setup.py.dpatch file and replace HAVE_CURL_GNUTLS with HAVE_CURL_OPENSSL
-
Edit the debian/changelog file by adding new version pycurl (7.19.0-4ubuntu3+openssl) precise; urgency=low
* Rebuild to use OpenSSL dependency instead GnuTLS. -- Markku Saarela <ivalo@iki.fi> Wed, 18 Sep 2013 09:15:26 +0000 -
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -b
-
sudo dpkg -i ../python-pycurl_7.19.0-4ubuntu3+openssl_amd64.deb
After this procedure output should be following:
'libcurl/7.22.0 OpenSSL/1.0.1 zlib/1.2.3.4 libidn/1.23 librtmp/2.3'
For cURL and pycURL installation look here:
-
cURL downloads: http://curl.haxx.se/download.html.
-
pycURL downloads: http://pycurl.sourceforge.net/download/ (Select OpenSSL version)
