this is really not a pycurl issue (read the libcurl docs for more
info).

since libcurl version 7.10, you have to set the SSL_VERIFYPEER option
to 0.  in pycurl this would be something like the following
(untested):

c = pycurl.Curl()
c.setopt(pycurl.SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0)
c.setopt(pycurl.SSL_VERIFYHOST, 1)
