flexhash 1.0.0

Kylacoin Flex hashing (C extension)

FlexHash

A fast Python extension module implementing the Flex hashing algorithm used by Kylacoin and Lyncoin cryptocurrencies.

What is FlexHash?

FlexHash is a high-performance cryptographic hash function that combines multiple proven algorithms including SHA3, CryptoNight variants, and Lyra2. It's specifically designed for blockchain applications requiring secure and efficient hashing.

Installation

Install from PyPI (recommended):

pip install flexhash

Or visit the PyPI project page for more details.

Quick Start

import flexhash

# Hash some data
data = b"Hello, World!"
result = flexhash.hash(data)

print(f"Input: {data}")
print(f"Hash: {result.hex()}")
# Output: Hash: 7a8b9c1d2e3f4a5b6c7d8e9f0a1b2c3d4e5f6a7b8c9d0e1f2a3b4c5d6e7f8a9b

API Reference

flexhash.hash(data: bytes) -> bytes

Computes the Flex hash of the input data.

Parameters:

• data (bytes): The data to hash

Returns:

• bytes: 32-byte hash digest

Example:

import flexhash

# Basic usage
hash_output = flexhash.hash(b"example data")
assert len(hash_output) == 32

# Hash is deterministic
hash1 = flexhash.hash(b"test")
hash2 = flexhash.hash(b"test")
assert hash1 == hash2

Requirements

• Python 3.8 or later
• Works on Windows, Linux, and macOS
