dbs3-pycurl
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, with conditions. The permissive Apache License, Version 2.0 and low install friction make it safe to use. However, the dormant maintenance status means you should verify that pycurl itself meets your needs and that you're comfortable relying on a package that is not actively maintained. Check whether pycurl and certifi receive the updates your security and compatibility requirements demand.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Low install friction with only two runtime dependencies (pycurl and certifi).
- The package is dormant—last release was 697 days ago, with no recent commits or active maintenance signal.

What it is and what it does
dbs3-pycurl is a thin client wrapper around pycurl, a Python binding to libcurl that handles HTTP requests. It depends on pycurl for the underlying HTTP functionality and certifi for SSL certificate validation. The package appears designed to simplify or standardize pycurl usage within a specific project context.
The package shows minimal maintenance activity—first released on 2021-08-09 and last updated on 2024-09-16, but with no active development since then. With 485258 monthly downloads it sees real usage, but the dormant status suggests it may not be actively developed or supported.
Use it for
- Making HTTP requests in Python applications that prefer pycurl over alternatives
- Projects requiring direct libcurl integration for advanced HTTP features
- Legacy systems already built on pycurl that need a standardized client interface
