Python binding for the libcurl C library.

Project description

libcurl-ct

Python binding for the libcurl C library.

Overview

Python libcurl-ct module is a low-level binding for libcurl C library.
It is an effort to allow python programs full access to the API implemented and provided by the well known *libcurl* library.

PyPI record.

Documentation.

libcurl-ct is a lightweight Python package, based on the ctypes library.
It is fully compliant implementation of the original C libcurl API by implementing whole its functionality in a clean Python instead of C.

libcurl API documentation can be found at:

libcurl API overview

libcurl-ct uses the underlying libcurl C shared library as specified in libcurl.cfg (included libcurl-X.X.* is the default), but there is also ability to specify it programmatically by one of the following ways:

import libcurl
libcurl.config(LIBCURL="libcurl C shared library absolute path")
# or
libcurl.config(LIBCURL=None)  # included libcurl-X.X.* will be use
