fast-base58-rs
Rust-backed drop-in replacement for base58==2.1.1.
pip uninstall -y base58
pip install fast-base58-rs
Existing imports stay unchanged:
import base58
assert base58.b58encode(b"hello world") == b"StV1DL6CwTryKyV"
assert base58.b58decode("StV1DL6CwTryKyV") == b"hello world"
Compatibility
The project freezes upstream version 2.1.1 and preserves its complete public surface: all encoding/decoding functions, BITCOIN_ALPHABET, RIPPLE_ALPHABET, XRP_ALPHABET, alphabet alias, integer API, arbitrary byte alphabet support, autofix keyword-only parameter, checksum functions, __version__, py.typed, console script base58, python -m base58 CLI, _get_base58_decode_map with lru_cache, and the complete upstream test suite.
Modern supported platforms install an abi3 PyO3 wheel. Python 3.7 and platforms without a matching native wheel can install the same-version pure-Python fallback wheel. The fallback is the frozen upstream implementation, not a reduced API.
See COMPATIBILITY.md, UPSTREAM-CONTRACT.md, and REUSE-AUDIT.md.
Performance
After semantic equality passed, benchmarks are recorded truthfully. Results are workload- and machine-specific; the measured range, raw samples, exact wheel SHA256, and reproduction details are in BENCHMARK.md.
Verification
cargo fmt --all -- --check
cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings
cargo test --all-targets
python scripts/run_differential.py \
--oracle-python /path/to/oracle-venv/bin/python \
--candidate-python /path/to/candidate-venv/bin/python
PYTHON=/path/to/candidate-venv/bin/python bash scripts/run_upstream_full.sh
Release counting remains fail-closed until cross-platform packaged wheels, immutable artifacts, PyPI public reinstalls, formal GitHub Release last, and post-release monitoring all pass. See FULL-RELEASE-REPORT.md.
Migration and rollback
Migration changes only the installed distribution name; the Python import remains base58. To roll back:
pip uninstall -y fast-base58-rs
pip install base58==2.1.1
