pycurl version conflict between installed packages

I have the following situation, I have a web server with Plesk installed in it, to update Plesk yum is required as the server is over CentOS. Now on the server I have installed an on demand image resizing solution (Thumbor) which depends on the pycurl package version greater than or equal to 7.19.0 and minor than 7.20.0, if I install the package required by Thumbor then yum brokes, and on excecution throws an error saying that the required version of pycurl is not installed, and the same happens to Thumbor. So is a situation where one of the two(Thumbor or yum) have to die :) . My question is, how can I have two versions of pycurl installed on my server in order to run both, Thumbor and yum? Or, is any way to have both living on the same server?

Create a virtual environment. Install the web server's version of pycurl in the virtual environment. Run the web server in the virtual environment.

When you need to run yum do so outside of that virtual environment, so the web server's version of pycurl does not apply.

Depending upon which version of Python you're using for the web server one of these ought to get you started:
