pycohttpparser 1.1.0

pycohttpparser

pycohttpparser is a Python wrapper library around the excellent picohttpparser C library. It aims to provide a speedy C implementation of the HTTP/1.1 parsing API used in the hyper project. Using CFFI, it supports both CPython 2.7 and 3.4, and PyPy.

To get started with pycohttpparser, simply install it from the cheeseshop:

$ pip install pycohttpparser

You’ll need to make sure your system is set up for using CFFI. For more information, consult CFFI’s documentation.

Then, you can start parsing your HTTP messages! For example:

>>> import pycohttpparser.api as p
>>> message = socket.recv()
>>> m = memoryview(data)
>>> c = p.Parser()
>>> r = c.parse_request(m)
>>> r.method.tobytes()
b'POST'
>>> r.path.tobytes()
b'/post'

For more information, see the documentation.
