aioquic
is a library for the QUIC network protocol in Python. It features
a minimal TLS 1.3 implementation, a QUIC stack and an HTTP/3 stack.
aioquic
is used by Python opensource projects such as dnspython,
hypercorn, mitmproxy and the Web Platform Tests cross-browser test
suite. It has also been used extensively in research papers about QUIC.
To learn more about aioquic
please read the documentation.
aioquic
has been designed to be embedded into Python client and server
libraries wishing to support QUIC and / or HTTP/3. The goal is to provide a
common codebase for Python libraries in the hope of avoiding duplicated effort.
Both the QUIC and the HTTP/3 APIs follow the "bring your own I/O" pattern, leaving actual I/O operations to the API user. This approach has a number of advantages including making the code testable and allowing integration with different concurrency models.
A lot of effort has gone into writing an extensive test suite for the
aioquic
code to ensure best-in-class code quality, and it is regularly
tested for interoperability against other QUIC implementations.
- minimal TLS 1.3 implementation conforming with RFC 8446
The easiest way to install aioquic
is to run:
pip install aioquic
If there are no wheels for your system or if you wish to build aioquic
from source you will need the OpenSSL development headers.
On Debian/Ubuntu run:
sudo apt install libssl-dev python3-dev
On Alpine Linux run:
sudo apk add openssl-dev python3-dev bsd-compat-headers libffi-dev
On OS X run:
brew install openssl
You will need to set some environment variables to link against OpenSSL:
export CFLAGS=-I$(brew --prefix openssl)/include
export LDFLAGS=-L$(brew --prefix openssl)/lib
On Windows the easiest way to install OpenSSL is to use Chocolatey.
choco install openssl
You will need to set some environment variables to link against OpenSSL:
$Env:INCLUDE = "C:\Progra~1\OpenSSL\include"
$Env:LIB = "C:\Progra~1\OpenSSL\lib"
aioquic comes with a number of examples illustrating various QUIC usecases.
