Import and call install_zlib_ng() to enable zlib_ng support in aiohttp. Ensure aiohttp is installed.

import aiohttp from aiohttp_zlib_ng import install_zlib_ng install_zlib_ng() async def main(): async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session: async with session.get('https://httpbin.org/get') as resp: print(resp.status)

Debug

Known issues

breakingv0.3.0 made isal optional; previously isal was required. To use isal, install with aiohttp-zlib-ng[isal].

fix

Install extra: pip install aiohttp-zlib-ng[isal]

affects: >=0.3.0

gotchainstall_zlib_ng() must be called before creating any aiohttp session; otherwise compression will not be patched.

fix

Call install_zlib_ng() at import time or at the very beginning of your application.

affects: all

gotchazlib_ng may not be available on all platforms (e.g., missing AVX instructions). The library silently falls back to standard zlib; check logs for warnings.

fix

Verify installation: try installing with pip install aiohttp-zlib-ng and test on target platform.

affects: all
