In the interim, if you're not tied to Python specifically, you could use a different implementation of gRPC that fully supports compression like C++ <https://github.com/grpc/grpc/tree/master/src/cpp> or Java <https://github.com/grpc/grpc-java>. If you really are tied to Python, then you could do the compression yourself, using a module like gzip <https://docs.python.org/3/library/gzip.html#gzip.compress>.
