BrotliCFFI

This library contains Python CFFI bindings for the reference Brotli encoder/decoder, available here. This allows Python software to use the Brotli compression algorithm directly from Python code.

Install from PyPI:

$ python -m pip install brotlicffi

Install from Conda:

$ conda install -c conda-forge brotlicffi

To use it simply, try this:

import brotlicffi
data = brotlicffi.decompress(compressed_data)

More information can be found in the documentation.

Using BrotliCFFI in Projects

The API is 100% compatible with the Brotli Python C bindings. We recommend installing the C bindings on CPython and the CFFI bindings everywhere else (PyPy, etc)

Essentially you use requirements like this:

install_requires=[
    "brotli; platform_python_implementation == 'CPython'",
    "brotlicffi; platform_python_implementation != 'CPython'"
]

and then import the correct Brotli library like so:

try:
    import brotlicffi as brotli
except ImportError:
    import brotli

We provide an example project that shows how to use both libraries together to support Brotli with multiple Python implementations.
