etag-generator 0.9.1

Given a JSON object (python dict), generate a stable value suitable as an ETag

etag_generator

Given a python list or dictionary that will represents a JSON return value, generate an ETag that is guaranteed to be stable.

Will generate an etag from most data commonly used types:

• dict
• list
• string
• int / float

Works to create stable identifiers even with complex, multi-level objects.

Does not have the smarts to handle circular references.

Currently doesn't deal with the following data types:

• tuple
• classes
• boolean
• none
• other stuff that might exist that isn't in the supported list

installation

pip install etag_generator

usage

from etag_generator import generate_etag

etag = generate_etag({"any_object":"value"})
