Hi all,

If anyone uses latest pycurl 7.43 provided by pip or ansible tower/awx, any ovirtsdk4 calling will issue with the log:

The only way is to set the version of pycurl with

pip install -U "pycurl == 7.19.0"

(Before this, in tower/awx, you should  create venv)

What's the version of AWX, where pycurl 7.43 is provided? I use latest
and I have 7.19. But anyway, I've tried to update to 7.43, and this worked for me with nss:

AWX 2.1.2
/opt/awx/embedded/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pycurl-7.43.0.1.dist-info

$ source venv/awx/bin/activate
$ export PYCURL_SSL_LIBRARY=nss; pip install pycurl --compile --no-cache-dir
$ python -c 'import pycurl; print pycurl.version'
PycURL/7.43.0.2 libcurl/7.29.0 NSS/3.36 zlib/1.2.7 libidn/1.28 libssh2/1.4.3

Yes, I've tried your trick and 7.43 works with the nss support like you say, but...

• how can anyone guess he needs the nss library
• it doesn't work out the box with the awx embedded  pycurl, so we must use venv

So it should be good to compile the embedded awx pycurl to natively support nss, out of venv.
