Compression is a known bottleneck in aiohttp, especially for WebSocket connections that compress frequently; this package patches aiohttp to use isal or zlib-ng instead of the standard library's zlib, both of which are drop-in replacements with better performance. You call a single enable() function at startup, and all subsequent aiohttp compression operations use the faster library.\n\nThe package is in Pre-Alpha development, meaning the API and behavior may change. It has a single runtime dependency on aiohttp and requires Python 3.9 or later. Installation is straightforward, but you must also install one of the optional compression libraries (isal or zlib-ng) to see any benefit.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you use aiohttp and compression is a known bottleneck in your workload. The package is low-friction to install and maintain, has no known vulnerabilities, and offers a straightforward performance win. Pre-Alpha status means you should test it in a non-critical environment first and monitor for API changes in future releases."},"id":"aiohttp-fast-zlib","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/aiohttp-fast-zlib","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/aiohttp-fast-zlib.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/aiohttp-fast-zlib/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-06-07","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"aiohttp-fast-zlib","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Use the fastest installed zlib compatible library with aiohttp"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":1811781,"position":3529,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.3.0"}
