Try to download sources and build it by yourself: as result you will have to get directories like:

• libcurl-vc12-x86-release-dll-ipv6-sspi-winssl
  • bin
    • curl.exe
    • libcurl.dll
  • include
    • *.h
  • lib
    • libcurl.lib

(or you can search for prebuilt binaries/headers with same directory structure) And then you have to point your setup.py script this directory, such as:

python setup.py install --curl-dir="D:\..\libcurl-vc12-x86-release-dll-ipv6-sspi-winssl

And it will be built successfully.
