PycURL doesn't seem to work on Windows

[ebroder]

When using PycURL on Windows, we end up with POST submissions like this:

   {
     "C:\\Python27\\lib\\email\\mime\\nonmultipart%2Epy%00n": ""
   }

We should either track down and squash the bug, or (easier) don't use PycURL on Windows (fall back on another library)

We've seen this pretty rarely, and not on all Windowses. I think it's a PycURL bug, and not much we can do about squashing it (except perhaps detect it).

requests is excellent, and works on Windows. Highly recommend.

[ebroder]

@gtaylor We support requests, App Engine's urlfetch, pycurl, and urllib2 if all else fails, in that order. We prefer requests over anything else, but I think that may not currently be correctly reflected in our package dependencies.

Sounds like pycurl/pycurl#34 although that should not have affected any released pycurl versions two years ago.

@ebroder is correct about the import order. Requests supports windows, so I personally don't think this is still an issue.
