Bug Description

The recent patch uploaded raring fixing a python3 issue is breaking usage of WRITEFUNCTION in python 2.X. http://launchpadlibrarian.net/129472394/pycurl_7.19.0-5ubuntu4_7.19.0-5ubuntu5.diff.gz is the patch.

The following script fails with "SystemError: bad format char passed to Py_BuildValue":

import pycurl
from StringIO import StringIO

body = StringIO()

curl = pycurl.Curl()
curl.setopt(pycurl.URL, "http://www.ubuntu.com/")
curl.setopt(pycurl.WRITEFUNCTION, body.write)
curl.perform()

print body.getvalue()

This bug was fixed in the package pycurl - 7.19.0-5ubuntu6

---------------
pycurl (7.19.0-5ubuntu6) raring; urgency=low

  * debian/patches/python3.patch:
    - And make sure that the last WRITEFUNCTION fix only is used for
      Python 3, to avoid breaking Python 2 (LP: #1108161)
