What good tutorials exist for learning pycURL? [closed]

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?

Is PycURL faster than requests?

Beyond simple fetches however PycURL exposes most of the functionality of libcurl, including: Speed - libcurl is very fast and PycURL, being a thin wrapper above libcurl, is very fast as well. PycURL was benchmarked to be several times faster than Requests.

What does PycURL do?

Overview. PycURL is a Python interface to libcurl. PycURL can be used to fetch objects identified by a URL from a Python program, similar to the urllib Python module. PycURL is mature, very fast, and supports a lot of features.

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).
