clickhouse-cityhash 1.0.2.1

Python-bindings for CityHash, a fast non-cryptographic hash algorithm

A fork of Python wrapper around CityHash with downgraded version of algorithm. This fork used as 3-rd party library for hashing data in ClickHouse protocol. Unfortunately ClickHouse server comes with built-in old version of this algorithm.

Please use original python-cityhash package for other purposes.

Getting Started

To use this package in your program, simply type

pip install clickhouse-cityhash

Development

If you want to contribute to original package by developing, the included Makefile provides some useful commands to help you with that task:

git clone https://github.com/escherba/python-cityhash.git
cd python-cityhash
make env           # creates a Python virtualenv
make test          # runs both Python and C++ tests

Authors

The Python bindings were originally written by Alexander [Amper] Marshalov and were subsequently edited for more speed/versatility and packaged for PyPI by Eugene Scherba. The original CityHash algorithm is by Google.
