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.
QUIC was standardised in RFC 9000 and HTTP/3 in RFC 9114.
aioquic is regularly tested for interoperability against other
QUIC implementations.
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.
- QUIC stack conforming with RFC 9000
- HTTP/3 stack conforming with RFC 9114
- minimal TLS 1.3 implementation conforming with RFC 8446
- IPv4 and IPv6 support
- connection migration and NAT rebinding
- logging TLS traffic secrets
- logging QUIC events in QLOG format
- HTTP/3 server push support
aioquic requires Python 3.7 or better, and the OpenSSL development headers.
On Debian/Ubuntu run:
sudo apt install libssl-dev python3-devOn Alpine Linux run:
sudo apk add openssl-dev python3-dev bsd-compat-headers libffi-devOn OS X run:
brew install opensslYou will need to set some environment variables to link against OpenSSL:
export CFLAGS=-I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include
export LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/opt/openssl/libOn Windows the easiest way to install OpenSSL is to use Chocolatey.
choco install opensslYou will need to set some environment variables to link against OpenSSL:
$Env:INCLUDE = "C:\Progra~1\OpenSSL-Win64\include"
$Env:LIB = "C:\Progra~1\OpenSSL-Win64\lib"aioquic comes with a number of examples illustrating various QUIC usecases.
