{"categories":[{"label":"Utilities","url":"https://skillfed.io/packages/category/utilities/3"}],"enrichment":{"capability":"brotlipy provides Python bindings to the Brotli compression algorithm, allowing you to compress and decompress data using Brotli directly from Python code.","skillfed_tags":["compression","brotli"],"use_cases":["Decompress Brotli-encoded HTTP responses in web clients or scraping tools.","Compress data for storage or transmission using Brotli in data processing pipelines.","Incrementally decompress large Brotli-compressed files without loading them entirely into memory.","Add Brotli support to HTTP servers or reverse proxies that handle compressed payloads."],"what_it_does":"brotlipy is a Python wrapper around Google's Brotli compression library. It exposes both one-shot compression and decompression functions and a streaming API for incremental processing. The package bundles the Brotli C library and compiles it during installation, so it has no Python runtime dependencies but does require a C compiler on platforms without prebuilt wheels.\n\nThe library is used to add Brotli support to Python applications that need efficient compression\u2014commonly in HTTP clients and servers, data pipelines, and tools that work with Brotli-compressed content. It supports compression and decompression with configurable parameters, and includes a streaming decompressor with a finish() method for handling incomplete data.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need Brotli compression in Python and are on a supported platform. The package is actively maintained with a recent commit on 2026-03-05, has no known vulnerabilities, and receives substantial downloads. However, the last release was 2017-05-30 and classifiers target Python 2.7 through 3.5; verify compatibility with your Python version before adopting in new projects."},"id":"brotlipy","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/brotlipy","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/brotlipy.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/brotlipy/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2017-05-30","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"brotlipy","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Python binding to the Brotli library"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":1876211,"position":3470,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.7.0"}
