xxhash is a Python binding for the xxHash_ library by `Yann Collet`__.

__ Cyan4973_

Installation
------------

.. code-block:: bash

   $ pip install xxhash
   
You can also install using conda:

.. code-block:: bash

   $ conda install -c conda-forge python-xxhash


Installing From Source
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. code-block:: bash

   $ pip install --no-binary xxhash xxhash

Prerequisites
++++++++++++++

On Debian/Ubuntu:

.. code-block:: bash

   $ apt-get install python-dev gcc

On CentOS/Fedora:

.. code-block:: bash

   $ yum install python-devel gcc redhat-rpm-config

Linking to libxxhash.so
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

By default python-xxhash will use bundled xxHash,
we can change this by specifying ENV var ``XXHASH_LINK_SO``:

.. code-block:: bash

   $ XXHASH_LINK_SO=1 pip install --no-binary xxhash xxhash

Usage
--------

Module version and its backend xxHash library version can be retrieved using
the module properties ``VERSION`` AND ``XXHASH_VERSION`` respectively.

.. code-block:: python

    >>> import xxhash
    >>> xxhash.VERSION
    '2.0.0'
    >>> xxhash.XXHASH_VERSION
    '0.8.0'

This module is hashlib-compliant, which means you can use it in the same way as ``hashlib.md5``.

    | update() -- update the current digest with an additional string
    | digest() -- return the current digest value
    | hexdigest() -- return the current digest as a string of hexadecimal digits
    | intdigest() -- return the current digest as an integer
    | copy() -- return a copy of the current xxhash object
    | reset() -- reset state

md5 digest returns bytes, but the original xxh32 and xxh64 C APIs return integers.
While this module is made hashlib-compliant, ``intdigest()`` is also provided to
get the integer digest.

Constructors for hash algorithms provided by this module are ``xxh32()`` and ``xxh64()``.

For example, to obtain the digest of the byte string ``b'Nobody inspects the spammish repetition'``:

.. code-block:: python

    >>> import xxhash
    >>> x = xxhash.xxh32()
    >>> x.update(b'Nobody inspects')
    >>> x.update(b' the spammish repetition')
    >>> x.digest()
    b'\xe2);/'
    >>> x.digest_size
    4
    >>> x.block_size
    16

More condensed:

.. code-block:: python

    >>> xxhash.xxh32(b'Nobody inspects the spammish repetition').hexdigest()
    'e2293b2f'
    >>> xxhash.xxh32(b'Nobody inspects the spammish repetition').digest() == x.digest()
    True

An optional seed (default is 0) can be used to alter the result predictably:

.. code-block:: python

    >>> import xxhash
    >>> xxhash.xxh64('xxhash').hexdigest()
    '32dd38952c4bc720'
    >>> xxhash.xxh64('xxhash', seed=20141025).hexdigest()
    'b559b98d844e0635'
    >>> x = xxhash.xxh64(seed=20141025)
    >>> x.update('xxhash')
    >>> x.hexdigest()
    'b559b98d844e0635'
    >>> x.intdigest()
    13067679811253438005

Be careful that xxh32 takes an unsigned 32-bit integer as seed, while xxh64
takes an unsigned 64-bit integer. Although unsigned integer overflow is
defined behavior, it's better not to make it happen:

.. code-block:: python

    >>> xxhash.xxh32('I want an unsigned 32-bit seed!', seed=0).hexdigest()
    'f7a35af8'
    >>> xxhash.xxh32('I want an unsigned 32-bit seed!', seed=2**32).hexdigest()
    'f7a35af8'
    >>> xxhash.xxh32('I want an unsigned 32-bit seed!', seed=1).hexdigest()
    'd8d4b4ba'
    >>> xxhash.xxh32('I want an unsigned 32-bit seed!', seed=2**32+1).hexdigest()
    'd8d4b4ba'
    >>>
    >>> xxhash.xxh64('I want an unsigned 64-bit seed!', seed=0).hexdigest()
    'd4cb0a70a2b8c7c1'
    >>> xxhash.xxh64('I want an unsigned 64-bit seed!', seed=2**64).hexdigest()
    'd4cb0a70a2b8c7c1'
    >>> xxhash.xxh64('I want an unsigned 64-bit seed!', seed=1).hexdigest()
    'ce5087f12470d961'
    >>> xxhash.xxh64('I want an unsigned 64-bit seed!', seed=2**64+1).hexdigest()
    'ce5087f12470d961'


``digest()`` returns bytes of the **big-endian** representation of the integer
digest:

.. code-block:: python

    >>> import xxhash
    >>> h = xxhash.xxh64()
    >>> h.digest()
    b'\xefF\xdb7Q\xd8\xe9\x99'
    >>> h.intdigest().to_bytes(8, 'big')
    b'\xefF\xdb7Q\xd8\xe9\x99'
    >>> h.hexdigest()
    'ef46db3751d8e999'
    >>> format(h.intdigest(), '016x')
    'ef46db3751d8e999'
    >>> h.intdigest()
    17241709254077376921
    >>> int(h.hexdigest(), 16)
    17241709254077376921

Besides xxh32/xxh64 mentioned above, oneshot functions are also provided,
so we can avoid allocating XXH32/64 state on heap:

    | xxh32_digest(bytes, seed=0)
    | xxh32_intdigest(bytes, seed=0)
    | xxh32_hexdigest(bytes, seed=0)
    | xxh64_digest(bytes, seed=0)
    | xxh64_intdigest(bytes, seed=0)
    | xxh64_hexdigest(bytes, seed=0)

.. code-block:: python

    >>> import xxhash
    >>> xxhash.xxh64('a').digest() == xxhash.xxh64_digest('a')
    True
    >>> xxhash.xxh64('a').intdigest() == xxhash.xxh64_intdigest('a')
    True
    >>> xxhash.xxh64('a').hexdigest() == xxhash.xxh64_hexdigest('a')
    True
    >>> xxhash.xxh64_hexdigest('xxhash', seed=20141025)
    'b559b98d844e0635'
    >>> xxhash.xxh64_intdigest('xxhash', seed=20141025)
    13067679811253438005L
    >>> xxhash.xxh64_digest('xxhash', seed=20141025)
    '\xb5Y\xb9\x8d\x84N\x065'

.. code-block:: python

    In [1]: import xxhash

    In [2]: %timeit xxhash.xxh64_hexdigest('xxhash')
    268 ns ± 24.1 ns per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1000000 loops each)

    In [3]: %timeit xxhash.xxh64('xxhash').hexdigest()
    416 ns ± 17.3 ns per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1000000 loops each)


XXH3 hashes are available since v2.0.0 (xxHash v0.8.0), they are:

Streaming classes:

    | xxh3_64
    | xxh3_128

Oneshot functions:

    | xxh3_64_digest(bytes, seed=0)
    | xxh3_64_intdigest(bytes, seed=0)
    | xxh3_64_hexdigest(bytes, seed=0)
    | xxh3_128_digest(bytes, seed=0)
    | xxh3_128_intdigest(bytes, seed=0)
    | xxh3_128_hexdigest(bytes, seed=0)

And aliases:

    | xxh128 = xxh3_128
    | xxh128_digest = xxh3_128_digest
    | xxh128_intdigest = xxh3_128_intdigest
    | xxh128_hexdigest = xxh3_128_hexdigest

Caveats
-------

SEED OVERFLOW
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

xxh32 takes an unsigned 32-bit integer as seed, and xxh64 takes
an unsigned 64-bit integer as seed. Make sure that the seed is greater than
or equal to ``0``.

ENDIANNESS
~~~~~~~~~~~

As of python-xxhash 0.3.0, ``digest()`` returns bytes of the
**big-endian** representation of the integer digest. It used
to be little-endian.

DONT USE XXHASH IN HMAC
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Though you can use xxhash as an HMAC_ hash function, but it's
highly recommended not to.

xxhash is **NOT** a cryptographic hash function, it is a
non-cryptographic hash algorithm aimed at speed and quality.
Do not put xxhash in any position where cryptographic hash
functions are required.
