Python Binding

pip install chromesimplecache

import glob
import urllib.parse
import os
import brotli
import gzip
import zlib

    e = SimpleCacheEntry(entry_file)
    url = e.get_key()
    print(url)

    filename = urllib.parse.quote(url, safe='')[:255]
    encoding = e.get_header().headers.get('content-encoding', '').strip().lower()
    out_path = os.path.join(out_dir, filename)

    if encoding:

            data = zlib.decompress(data)

        with open(out_path, 'wb') as f:
            f.write(data)
    else:
        # faster for binary
        e.save(out_path)
