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).
