blurhash-py 0.3.0

A Python and rust library for encoding and decoding blurhash strings

blurhash-py

A Python and rust library for encoding and decoding blurhash strings where most of the code is ported from the original blurhash library.

Some of the optimizations are inspired by this blog post.

Comparing with the original (C-based) implementation:

In [1]: import blurhash as b1

In [2]: import blurhash_py as b2

In [3]: fname = './mio.png'

In [4]: %timeit b1.encode(fname, 4, 4)
388 ms ± 414 μs per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1 loop each)

In [5]: %timeit b2.encode(fname, 4, 4)
75.7 ms ± 349 μs per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 10 loops each)

Installation
