Answer 1

There is no feature in pycurl that composes curl commands.

Note also that there are many things you can do with pycurl that cannot be represented with curl command (for example, writing to a Python IO object).

Answer 2

You could use subprocess to get the output:

import subprocess
process = subprocess.Popen(["curl","www.google.com"],shell=True,stdout=subprocess.PIPE,stderr=subprocess.PIPE)
stdout, stderr = process.communicate()
print(stdout.decode().strip() , stderr.decode().strip())
