Hyper is a Python library providing an HTTP/2 client with an API similar to http.client. It is no longer maintained and its authors recommend alternatives such as HTTPX.
Use cases
- make http/2 requests from python
- drop-in replacement for http.client with http/2 support
- test http/2 server implementations
- learn how http/2 and hpack work in python
When to choose
- you need to experiment with raw http/2 in legacy python codebases
- you are studying http/2 protocol implementation
When to avoid
- starting any new project - it is unmaintained and security issues will not be fixed
- you need http/2 support in production - use httpx instead
