========================================

.. image:: https://travis-ci.org/python-hyper/hpack.png?branch=master
    :target: https://travis-ci.org/python-hyper/hpack

This module contains a pure-Python HTTP/2 header encoding (HPACK) logic for use
in Python programs that implement HTTP/2. It also contains a compatibility
layer that automatically enables the use of ``nghttp2`` if it's available.
