Troubleshooting

If the installation fails due to an error related to the pycurl package, you may have to install it apart, before installing pyLoad.

Currently, PycURL does not support Python releases later than version 3.6, but un-official Windows binary packages for latest Python versions are available on https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#pycurl .

As an example, to install PycURL 7.43.1 for Python 3.7 on Windows 64-bit, you have to download the file named pycurl-7.43.1-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl and type in a terminal/command prompt window (as root/administrator):

pip install pycurl-7.43.1-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl

When the installation succesfully finishes you can safely delete the downloaded file.

Visit http://pycurl.io/docs/latest/install.html to learn how to get and install the appropriate PycURL package for your system.
