pynghttp2
pynghttp2 are simple asyncio Python bindings based on ctypes for the nghttp2
library. The only thing you need is a libnghttp2 version on your system.
On Debian-based systems you can install nghttp2 simply via apt:
apt-get install libnghttp2-14The project was created in the context of a student work for an HTTP/2 protocol gateway in the µPCN project - an implementation of Delay-tolerant Networking (DTN) protocols.
