Following the steps one mentioned above, solved my problem.

sudo apt install libcurl4-gnutls-dev librtmp-dev

pip install pycurl

Answer 2

This is a problem indeed. No need to update pip or easy install as it's often advised, well it won't hurt to update but you will still have the problem until you :

1. install libcurl4-gnutls-dev librtmp-dev packages
2. pip install pycurl

Worked the same in Linux
