You must put the lib file in /usr/local, which is downloaded from here. I code in this way this because I can update the dependency without updating cycurl itself.

[deedy5]

Can you make it so that the installation (pip install cycurl) automatically installs the right libraries?

[synodriver]

Can you make it so that the installation (pip install cycurl) automatically installs the right libraries?

It's not possible due to pip's security policy.(Imagine if a python package can place the lib file in /usr/local, it will have the ability to put any file at any place, e.g. overwrite .ssh file, that's a virus instead of a package...)

[synodriver]

Emmmm. Maybe changing RPATH will work...

[deedy5]

What if you save the required libraries in .local/bin folder?

[rifkymcz]

Emmmm. Maybe changing RPATH will work...

When update on pypi?

Actually I'm updating it when upstream release a new version, unluckily we both meet a problem: the latest libcurl-impersonate just fails to build on windows....

[synodriver]

Ok, this is fixed in the latest commit.
