It implements the official NIST standard (with delimiter suffix 0x06) and also provides the pre-finalization Keccak hashes for backward compatibility. The module provides constructors for hash objects with a PEP 247 compatible interface including sha3_224(), sha3_256(), sha3_384(), sha3_512(), shake_128(), shake_256(), and keccak variants.\n\nThe package is a C extension compiled from optimized Keccak sources and is available as prebuilt wheels for Python 3.9\u20133.13 on Linux and musl platforms. It has no runtime dependencies and exposes methods like update(), digest(), and hexdigest(). The package is permissively licensed under PSFL and CC0 1.0 Universal, and has seen no reported security vulnerabilities.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need SHA-3 or SHAKE on Python 3.9\u20133.13 and require legacy Keccak hashes or pre-NIST compatibility. The package is stable and dependency-free, but install friction is medium due to C compilation. The 421-day release gap suggests maintenance is minimal; verify active support for your use case before adopting."},"id":"safe-pysha3","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/safe-pysha3","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/safe-pysha3.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/safe-pysha3/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-06-19","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"safe-pysha3","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"SHA-3 (Keccak) for Python 3.9 - 3.13"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":362777,"position":7230,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.0.5"}
