Newbie question: Python 2.6, Ubuntu 10.04, I can import both pycurl and curl, the former having different names for functions (set_option vs. setopt).
What's the difference between the two modules?

curl is a module which uses pycurl . It provides the curl. Curl class which provides a high-level interface to the pycurl functions.
PycURL is a Python interface to libcurl, the multiprotocol file transfer library. Similarly to the urllib Python module, PycURL can be used to fetch objects identified by a URL from a Python program.
curl is a module which uses pycurl. It provides the curl.Curl class which provides a high-level interface to the pycurl functions.
I haven't found much documentation on how to use it, but reading /usr/share/pyshared/curl/__init__.py may make it pretty self-obvious.
There are also some examples in /usr/share/doc/python-pycurl/examples which use curl.Curl.
