Brotli compression format
a8d1bf5266
This is so that one can do:
pip install --find-links https://github.com/google/brotli/releases/latest brotli
on any platform, whether or not there are pre-compiled *.whl packages that match the user's python version and anchitecture (e.g. Linux). Pip automatically chooses the correct binary package, and if that isn't available the source distribution (*.tar.gz or *.zip) is downloaded.

brotli
Brotli is a generic-purpose lossless compression algorithm that compresses data using a combination of a modern variant of the LZ77 algorithm, Huffman coding and 2nd order context modeling, with a compression ratio comparable to the best currently available general-purpose compression methods. It is similar in speed with deflate but offers more dense compression.
The specification of the Brotli Compressed Data Format is defined in the following internet draft: http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-alakuijala-brotli
