pywebtransport 0.3.0

A high-performance, async-native WebTransport implementation for Python.

PyWebTransport

A high-performance, async-native WebTransport implementation for Python.

Features

• Full WebTransport protocol implementation (bidirectional streams, unidirectional streams, datagrams).
• High-performance async client and server application frameworks.
• Production-ready components for connection pooling, management, and load balancing.
• Comprehensive monitoring and debugging capabilities.
• Type-safe API with complete type annotations.
• Extensive test coverage (unit, integration, end-to-end).

Installation

pip install pywebtransport

Quick Start

Server

# server.py
import asyncio

from pywebtransport import ServerApp, ServerConfig, WebTransportSession, WebTransportStream
from pywebtransport.exceptions import ConnectionError, SessionError
from pywebtransport.utils import generate_self_signed_cert

generate_self_signed_cert("localhost")

app = ServerApp(
    config=ServerConfig.create(
        certfile="localhost.crt",
        keyfile="localhost.key",
    )
)


async def handle_datagrams(session: WebTransportSession) -> None:
    try:
        datagrams = await session.datagrams
        while True:
            data = await datagrams.receive()
            await datagrams.send(b"ECHO: " + data)
    except (ConnectionError, SessionError, asyncio.CancelledError):
        pass


async def handle_streams(session: WebTransportSession) -> None:
    try:
        async for stream in session.incoming_streams():
            if isinstance(stream, WebTransportStream):
                data = await stream.read_all()
                await stream.write_all(b"ECHO: " + data)
    except (ConnectionError, SessionError, asyncio.CancelledError):
        pass


@app.route("/")
async def echo_handler(session: WebTransportSession) -> None:
    datagram_task = asyncio.create_task(handle_datagrams(session))
    stream_task = asyncio.create_task(handle_streams(session))
    try:
        await session.wait_closed()
    finally:
        datagram_task.cancel()
        stream_task.cancel()


if __name__ == "__main__":
    app.run(host="127.0.0.1", port=4433)

Client

# client.py
import asyncio
import ssl

from pywebtransport import ClientConfig, WebTransportClient


async def main() -> None:
    config = ClientConfig.create(verify_mode=ssl.CERT_NONE)

    async with WebTransportClient.create(config=config) as client:
        session = await client.connect("https://127.0.0.1:4433/")

        print("Connection established. Testing datagrams...")
        datagrams = await session.datagrams
        await datagrams.send(b"Hello, Datagram!")
        response = await datagrams.receive()
        print(f"Datagram echo: {response!r}\n")

        print("Testing streams...")
        stream = await session.create_bidirectional_stream()
        await stream.write_all(b"Hello, Stream!")
        response = await stream.read_all()
        print(f"Stream echo: {response!r}")

        await session.close()


if __name__ == "__main__":
    try:
        asyncio.run(main())
    except KeyboardInterrupt:
        pass
