aioquic is a Python library implementing the QUIC network protocol (RFC 9000/9369) with a minimal TLS 1.3 implementation and an HTTP/3 stack (RFC 9114). It is designed to be embedded into Python client and server libraries, using a 'bring your own I/O' pattern compatible with asyncio and other concurrency models.

Use cases

• implement a QUIC client or server in Python
• add HTTP/3 support to a Python web framework
• build a proxy or tool that speaks QUIC like mitmproxy
• test QUIC interoperability in research
• bootstrap WebSockets over HTTP/3 (RFC 9220)
• log QUIC events in QLOG format for analysis

When to choose

• you need QUIC or HTTP/3 protocol support in a Python project
• you want a reusable QUIC codebase to embed in client/server libraries
• you need fine control over I/O and concurrency models
• you need TLS 1.3, connection migration, datagrams, or version negotiation

When to avoid

• you just need a high-level HTTP client without QUIC
• you need a full-featured TLS implementation beyond the minimal TLS 1.3 subset
• your project is not in Python
