Same URL is working fine here with curl. I think PYCURL ERROR 6 is:
6 Couldnt resolve host. The given remote host was not
resolved.
So probably worth checking DNS is working on the box.

Bryn.
DNS is verified working, however dig reported that it took 4703ms to
resolve, which is a little excessive and maybe the cause of the problem.
I wonder if I'm trying to resolve
fedoraproject.org via the IPv6 address
for
ns02.fedoraproject.org at 2610:28:1000:1401:216:3eff:fe1f:6b93 and
waiting for that to timeout. For example dig to
www.google.com resolves
in 87 ms.
I guess I should shut off IPv6 since I'm not using it on this host (yet)
