Error when trying to install pycurl

Question

I'm having an issue when running a python script, I'm getting below mentioned error

"ImportError: No module named pycurl"

I tried to resolve this by trying this command "sudo pip install pycurl" and I got this error

Are you running Debian? It worked for me after installing the following packages:

sudo apt install libcurl4-openssl-dev libssl-dev
