No. To make HTTP requests, you need to use the urlfetch service.
urllib, urllib2, and httplib on App Engine are patched to transparently use this API for you, so any third-party module that does HTTP requests using one of these standard modules will work.
The ‘c’ in cURL is there because the library is written in C; cURL interfaces in other languages (like pycurl) use the libcurl library, and can’t be use on App Engine, as modules that reply on C extensions are not allowed.
