<p>nghttp2 offers some high level Python API to C library. The bindings
currently provide HPACK compressor and decompressor classes and HTTP/2
server class.</p>
<p>The extension module is called <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">nghttp2</span></tt>.</p>
<p><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">make</span></tt> will build the bindings. The target Python version is
determined by configure script. If the detected Python version is not
what you expect, specify a path to Python executable in <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">PYTHON</span></tt>
variable as an argument to configure script (e.g., <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">./configure</span>
<span class="pre">PYTHON=/usr/bin/python3.4</span></tt>).</p>

cap the upper limit of table size whatever the header table size is
chosen by the inflater.</p>

<dd><p>The class is used to handle the single HTTP/2 stream. By default,
it does not nothing. It must be subclassed to handle each event
callback method.</p>

arrived.</p>
