Quart is a Python ASGI web microframework. It is intended to provide the easiest way to use asyncio functionality in a web context, especially with existing Flask apps. This is possible as the Quart API is a superset of the Flask API.
As I wanted to seamlessly migrate from Flask to Quart and noticed, that there are a few issues in using Flask-Compress together with Quart, I decided to create my own Quart-Compress packages, which is based on the Flask-Compress project.
Installing the package is as easy as:
$ pip install quart-compress2To compress your Quart responses, you only need to compress your Quart object at the beginning using the Compress class:
from quart import Quart
from quart_compress import Compress
app = Quart(__name__)
Compress(app)If you have to add a bunch of configuration to your application, you may need to instantiate the Compress object later using init_app:
from quart import Quart
from quart_compress import Compress
app = Quart(__name__)
compress = Compress()
# some more configurations
compress.init_app(app)
