Description

It would be handy to have pure c cffi python bindings that don't require c++ for use on both embedded systems that don't build a c++ toolchain and for pypy which performs best using cffi instead of cpython extensions. The unmaintained brotlipy fork has cffi bindings that could be adapted for this project as a build option.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the unmaintained brotlipy fork (https://github.com/python hyper/brotlipy) for its cffi bindings, understand the pattern, and adapt them to this project as an optional build feature.
