Here is a list of HTTP/2 implementations where you may find a python client that could perform HTTP/2 requests for you: https://github.com/http2/http2-spec/wiki/Implementations

Probably next year more web apps will start to use HTTP/2; some browsers already support it.

Note that the only documented http2 client for python says:

Currently, hyper‘s HTTPConnection class is not thread-safe. Thread-safety is planned for hyper‘s core objects, but in this early alpha it is not a high priority.

It would be nice to say something like: "w3af is the first scanner which supports http2" :+1:
It would be useless if nobody uses that technology :-1:
Need to find the right moment in time to work on this feature
