I've been trying to install pycurl in a virtualenv with easy_install, and it appears to install correctly:

I have managed (with some help) so solve the problem. The problem is that after installation, the pycurl.so is not copied to the site-packages for this virtualenv.

When installing via pip -v install pycurl, the following output is given:
