It exposes two functions\u2014murmurhash2() and murmurhash3()\u2014each taking a byte string and an optional seed value, returning a 32-bit hash. The package is distributed as precompiled wheels for common platforms and Python versions, with no runtime dependencies.\n\nThis is a low-level hashing utility, not a cryptographic library. It is typically used in scenarios where you need fast, deterministic hashing of data and do not require collision resistance or security properties. The project has been abandoned since its latest release on 2022-02-12, so it receives no active maintenance or updates.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you specifically need MurmurHash2 or MurmurHash3 for compatibility or performance in a non-security context. No, if you are looking for an actively maintained hashing library or need cryptographic guarantees. The abandoned status and lack of recent updates mean no security patches will be issued if issues arise."},"id":"murmurhash2","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/murmurhash2","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/murmurhash2.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/murmurhash2/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2022-02-12","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"murmurhash2","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"murmurhash2 for Python"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":857029,"position":4885,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.2.10"}
