Any advantage compared to the official brotli bindings? #142

Closed karyon closed 3 years ago

karyon commented 5 years ago

brotli has official python bindings with a very similar API, which is also published to pip, see here: https://github.com/google/brotli/tree/master/python

Is there any advantage of using this brotlipy package compared to the official one?

anthrotype commented 5 years ago

brotlipy uses cffi to wrap the brotli library, hence it is supposed to run faster on pypy.

We clarify this within our documentation now and are recommending using brotlicffi on non-CPython.
