Python - bulk set up pycurl options from dictionary

Question

Please tell me how to bulk set up pycurl options from dictionary.

Example:

options = {
    'WRITEFUNCTION': buffer.write,
    'FOLLOWLOCATION': True,
    'HEADER': True,
    'VERBOSE': False,
    }
options2 = {
    'COOKIEFILE': cookie_file,
    'COOKIEJAR': cookie_file,
    }
options.update(options2)

and i need something like that:

for opt, val in options.items():
    curl.setopt(pycurl.opt, val)

thank you in advance!

You can just use Python's getattr method. The start would be the same as yours and then

for opt, val in options.items():
    curl.setopt(getattr(curl,opt), val)
