But it gives me this error: Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-install-4cAaeI/pycurl/

Any help?

Having the same issues on windows 10

Possible solution, i just realized my error code was 10 so might be different. I cloned wptools into my projects local repo then navigated to setup.py and changed the following lines from:

with open('README.rst') as f:
    readme = f.read()
with open('HISTORY.rst') as f:
    history = f.read()

To:

with open('README.rst', encoding="utf8") as f:
    readme = f.read()
with open('HISTORY.rst', encoding="utf8") as f:
    history = f.read()

then ran setup.py. Works for me now.
