How to install pycurl on Mac?

Question

I am as new as it get's to programming. I am trying to access the ChatGPT API to write a bachelor thesis. I am on Mac 12.5.1, using Python 3.8.12 (trying at least).

I need to execute a curl command in Python. I tried to install pycurl via pip. Every time I execute the command I get an Error message: ERROR: Failed building wheel for pycurl.(More below)

I did install brew on chatgpts recommendation and verified my curl version with it: curl: stable 8.2.0 (bottled), HEAD [keg-only]

In the process of following the internets suggestion did install Xcode. My understanding is that I do need openssl, so I checked that too (with brew): openssl@3: stable 3.1.1 (bottled)

That's what happens, if I try to install pycurl:

pip install pycurl

  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

Note: you may need to restart the kernel to use updated packages.

It says I have to specify which SSL I am using, but I am still excited to use the terminal so that's just way above my league. Any Help is appreciated!
