= Describe the steps (including the command you run) that will reproduce
the problem?
With --api-upload I don't have any issue in uploading. But with Pycurl I get 
following error.,

By email you said that adding this lines solved the problem:

    c.setopt(c.SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0)
    c.setopt(c.SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0)

However, I am a bit concerned about adding such code to circumvent SSL, it 
poses a security threat for man-in-the-middle attacks (somebody could steal 
your password). Can you perform some additional checking? the question is why 
you get this errors while everybody else does not. Anything special about your 
inet connection? proxies or something?

Yes, adding 
    c.setopt(c.SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0)
    c.setopt(c.SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0)
resolves the problem. I am using a 3G USB data card for internet connection. No 
proxy or anything. I will test with a different 3G data card and with a DSL 
connection and update you the results.

Sorry, i'm a bit of a noob. 

Is there a resolution to this issue? I am having the exact same problem as the 
OP. I have just regular cable internet from optimum.

in regards to the fix, i'm not sure where I should add in those lines (assuming 
into youtube_upload.py, but wasn't sure where in the file).

> Is there a resolution to this issue? 

No, because we should know the reason of the problem, it happens to very few of 
you and I cannot reproduce. I cannot just add those two lines and disable 
secury for everyone.

yes, that file, just before line "c.perform()", be careful with the indentation.
