在另一个virtualenv中安装pycurl

Question

Here is my situation:

I work on a python project in which we work within a particular, project-oriented-and-customized virtual environment.

However at some point I need to introduce 3rd party modules into this venv, concretely speaking, pycurl and openpyxl. Presently I had to run certain python scripts depending on these two modules from anaconda's venv, which includes those two.

I don't feel like to switch back and forth between these two venvs.

We have a corp firewall stopping direct access to outside code repository. I managed, however, to download pycurl from https://dl.bintray.com/pycurl/pycurl/ , after unzip it (BTW, I use Windows), I noticed these two packages

site-packages\curl
site-packages\pycurl-7.43.0-py3.5.egg-info

In my project's directory tree, I found bunches of modules pretty much in line with the naming conventions as above, they are all under:

my_project\PythonVenv\Lib\site-packages

Then I copied curl and pycurl-7.43.0-py3.5.egg-info there and re-activate the project's venv, and tried running the script, still it complains:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pycurl'

Maybe simply copying doesn't work? Do I need to use something like "python setup.py" or "pip install".

First, I didn't see setup.py coming with the pycurl package; secondly "pip install" not work due to the corp firewall.

Anyone can help? Thanks.

On Windows you should be using the Windows binary packages. It sounds like you are trying to unpack the source distribution.
