This package provides a pure-Python implementation following the hashlib API, allowing you to create SipHash instances with a key, update them with data, and extract the hash as a numeric value, raw bytes, or hex string.\n\nThe package is unmaintained since 2013 and offers no performance advantages over native implementations in modern languages. It is suitable primarily for legacy code that depends on it or for educational exploration of the SipHash algorithm itself. Performance is inherently limited by the pure-Python approach.","worth_installing":"No, unless you are maintaining legacy code that already depends on it. The package is abandoned (last update 2013), offers no performance advantage over native implementations, and has unspecified Python version support. For new projects, use a maintained cryptographic library or a faster SipHash binding instead."},"id":"siphash","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/siphash","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/siphash.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/siphash/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2013-01-22","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"siphash","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"siphash - python siphash implementation"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":74511,"position":14823,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.0.1"}
