Using bzr with pycurl on Windows

I tried to use bzr-git to clone this package:

  https://github.com/dlitz/pycrypto.git

It got stuck after saying this (in .bzr.log only):

  0.672  failed to import pycurl: No module named pycurl
  0.672  failed to instantiate transport <bzrlib.registry._LazyObjectGetter object at 1085ad0, module='bzrlib.transport.http._pycurl' attribute='PyCurlTransport' imported=False> for 'https://github.com/dlitz/pycrypto.git': DependencyNotPresent(Unable to import library "pycurl": No module named pycurl)

(Should it hang like that, btw?)

I found this page:

  http://wiki.bazaar.canonical.com/PyCurl

which seems to give hope that PyCurl is workable on Windows.  I
installed libcurl from the first of the two links on that page, but
bumped into a problem with the second link, viz.:

   http://pycurl.sourceforge.net/download/

The standalone Windows installers there refuse to work, saying that
they don't find Python on my machine (which is true).  And if I
install pycurl-7.19.0.tar.gz (just the Python part of it) into
site-packages directory, I get gobs of exceptions (I can show the
details if someone is willing to see).

Did someone succeed in installing PyCurl on Windows and using bzr-git
in conjunction with https protocol?

TIA
