I noticed that the brotlipy package is included in the Anaconda 2021.11 distribution. This package will not work together with the brotli-python package, and according to pypi, brotlipy has not been updated since 2017, so I believe the brotli-python package is more up-to-date. Would it be possible to remove the brotlipy package from the Anaconda distribution or work with any package authors to migrate their packages to use the brotli-python package instead?
I can’t speak to the packaging policy, but perhaps you want to try using cramjam? It is standalone, with no dependencies of its own, and often has better performance.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention - we’ll look into it further to determine whether we should drop brotlipy from the next Anaconda Individual Edition installer release.

Please - PLEASE - do this. brotlipy misses features that regular brotli has (as packaged by pip), in particular the ability of compress chunk-wise. I went through my various anaconda installations and uninstalled brotlipy where I had installed it, to replace with the pip version.
Unfortunately, on my windows machine, I later on realized that brotlipy was not installed by myself, but rather anaconda – and now anaconda is unusable without it.
