Python wrapper for MurmurHash (MurmurHash3), a set of fast and robust hash functions.

mmh3 2.3 supports both Python 2.7 and 3.x.

Sample Usage:

>>> import mmh3
>>> mmh3.hash('foo') # 32 bit signed int
-156908512
>>> mmh3.hash64('foo') # two 64 bit signed ints
(-2129773440516405919, 9128664383759220103)
>>> mmh3.hash128('foo') # 128 bit signed int
168394135621993849475852668931176482145
>>> mmh3.hash_bytes('foo') # 128 bit value as bytes
'aE\xf5\x01W\x86q\xe2\x87}\xba+\xe4\x87\xaf~'
>>> mmh3.hash('foo', 42) # uses 42 for its seed
-1322301282

hash64, hash128, and hash_bytes have the third argument for architecture optimization. Use True for x64 and False for x86 (default: True).:

>>> mmh3.hash64('foo', 42, True) 
(-840311307571801102, -6739155424061121879)

• Add hash128, which returns a 128-bit signed integer.
• Fix a misplaced operator which could cause memory leak in a rare condition.
• Fix a malformed value to a Python/C API function which may cause runtime errors in recent Python 3.x versions.

The first two commits are from Derek Wilson. Thanks!

• Improve portability to support systems with old gcc (version < 4.4) such as CentOS/RHEL 5.x. (Commit from Micha Gorelick. Thanks!)

• Add __version__ constant. Check if it exists when the following revision matters for your application.
• Incorporate the revision r147, which includes robustness improvement and minor tweaks.

Beware that due to this revision, the result of 32-bit version of 2.1 is NOT the same as that of 2.0. E.g.,:

>>> mmh3.hash('foo') # in mmh3 2.0
-292180858
>>> mmh3.hash('foo') # in mmh3 2.1
-156908512

The results of hash64 and hash_bytes remain unchanged. Austin Appleby, the author of Murmurhash, ensured this revision was the final modification to MurmurHash3's results and any future changes would be to improve performance only.
