I've just spent a day battling with the error:

TypeError: invalid arguments to setopt

It turns out that the URL I was setting with 'conn.setopt(conn.URL,url)'
was a unicode object and not a string. I hadn't expected it to be
Unicode and so spent a while scratching my head (and compiling up the
latest version of pycurl, etc.) before I decided to examine the type of
the object being passed! With hindsight, this should have been one of
the first things I checked, but I didn't ;-)

So to re-iterate - make sure the URL you pass is a string object and not
unicode. Just thought I'd flag it up in case anyone else encounters this...
