HTTP/2 State-Machine based protocol implementation

Project description

https://raw.github.com/Lukasa/hyper/development/docs/source/images/hyper.png https://travis-ci.org/Lukasa/hyper.png?branch=master

This repository contains a pure-Python implementation of a HTTP/2 protocol stack. It’s written from the ground up to be embeddable in whatever program you choose to use, ensuring that you can speak HTTP/2 regardless of your programming paradigm.

You use it like this:

import h2

conn = h2.Connection()
frames, stream_id = conn.send_headers(headers)
data_frames = conn.send_data(stream_id, data)
response_headers = conn.recv_header_frames(received_header_frames)
response_data = conn.recv_data_frames(received_data_frames)

This repository does not provide a parsing layer, a network layer, or any rules about concurrency. Instead, it’s a purely in-memory solution, defined in terms of data actions and HTTP/2 frames. This is one building block of a full Python HTTP implementation.
