imid 0.2.0

Deterministic MD5-based IDs for NumPy arrays

imid

Deterministic MD5-based string IDs for NumPy arrays.

The hash incorporates dtype, shape, and byte content, so arrays differing in any of those produce different IDs.

Install

pip install imid

Usage

import numpy as np
from imid import get_id

arr = np.array([1.0, 2.0, 3.0])

get_id(arr)                 # "a3f1b2c4"
get_id(arr, prefix="img_")  # "img_a3f1b2c4"
get_id(arr, length=16)      # "a3f1b2c4d5e6f7a8"

API

get_id(arr, *, prefix="", length=8) -> str

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
arr	np.ndarray	(required)	Input array
prefix	str	""	String prepended to the ID
length	int	8	Length of the hex digest (max 32)

• Non-contiguous arrays are handled automatically.
• Raises ValueError if arr is not a numpy.ndarray.

Development

pip install -e ".[test]"
