I'm planning on building my own FTP client in Python for learning purposes. I'm planning on using PycURL but the documentation seems to be lacking.

What good tutorials are there for learning pycURL?

In the time since this question was asked, a terrific PycURL tutorial was written. It covers everything from GET and POST requests to cookies and proxies.

The docs here are fine, IMHO, if you already know the C library that's getting wrapped, as documented here. I don't know how feasible it is to learn pycurl without learning libcurl previously (or concurrently).

  • Thanks Alex for patiently answering my python questions. So even without knowing C, do you think I could learn the libcurl that pycurl wraps? – ajushi Jan 04 '10 at 14:47
  • I don't think you need to be able to program in C to follow the libcurl tutorial, just to "read" C a little (knowing that braces delimit blocks, for example, and asterisk means pointer). – Alex Martelli Jan 04 '10 at 15:18

see these Examples, the main idea and options are the same for pycurl.
