Why are you interested in QUIC? My understanding was that Google used this protocol as an experiment, but HTTP/2 is the successful termination of the experiment, and nobody should really be using it.  (For http2 support, `pip install twisted[tls,http2]`).

Investigating now I guess I can see https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-tsvwg-quic-protocol-02 <https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-tsvwg-quic-protocol-02> suggests that it has a future life as a transport for http2?

There's txWS... but autobahn is a lot more current and updated.

None that I know of.  Perhaps you could contribute it!
