Daniel Steinberg's hint (--libcurl) lead me to the solution: if you
use pycurl, you need to not use setopt(pycurl.PUT, 1), but
setopt(pycurl.CUSTOMREQUEST, "PUT") instead.

Full writeup:

I guess you need to trick pycurl into thinking it's making a POST
request, and only hack-in your own request type, which is what the "-X
PUT" option is doing on the command line.

Overall, --libcurl is a very useful tool. Even though it shows you a C
program, the code it shows pretty much directly translates into
pycurl.
