No.  While this was an easy fix that was actually in another package,
PycURL has other problems.  I think that the most obvious one is
handling errors encountered by libcurl (DNS errors, connection
refused, etc.) and passing back sensible error messages back to the
Python layer.  I'm sure a little trolling of bugzilla would turn up
others.

There are patches out there that fix these and other problems, but as
I said, I don't want to become the de facto upstream PycURL
maintainer, especially for a package that is this critical to the
project.  I just don't have the time or interest.
