PYCURL Error 56 is, if equivalent to libcurl:

CURLE_RECV_ERROR (56)
Failure with receiving network data.

So this means there is some sort of network problem.

I am able to resolve these myself, so perhaps the servers were 
temporarily down. If not, perhaps there is an internet problem on your 
end?  Try pinging those urls, if they're still down maybe you need to 
refresh your dns cache. (if it's caching on your machine that is)...

Hope that helps!
