# google-crc32c — A python wrapper of the C library 'Google CRC32C'

License: unclear · Maintenance: abandoned · Popularity: top 1,000 on PyPI

## Install

pip install google-crc32c
uv add google-crc32c
poetry add google-crc32c

## Description

# `google-crc32c`
![GA](https://img.shields.io/badge/support-GA-gold.svg) [<img src="https://img.shields.io/pypi/v/google-crc32c.svg">](https://pypi.org/project/google-crc32c) ![Python Versions](https://img.shields.io/pypi/pyversions/google-crc32c)

This package wraps the [`google/crc32c`](https://github.com/google/crc32c)
hardware-based implementation of the CRC32C hashing algorithm. Multiple wheels
are distributed as well as source. If a wheel is not published for the python
version and platform you are using, you will need to compile crc32c using a
C toolchain.

# Currently Published Wheels

Wheels are currently published for CPython 3.9, 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, 3.13 and 3.14
for multiple architectures. PyPy 3.9 and 3.10 are also supported for Linux.
For information on building your own wheels please view [BUILDING.md](BUILDING.md).


## Linux

Wheels are published for the following platforms / architectures:

- `manylinux2010` platform, `x86_64` and `1686` architectures
- `manylinux2014` platform, `aarch64` architecture

### Unsupported Platforms

- `manylinux1` platform, `x86_64` architecture support has ended.

See https://github.com/pypa/manylinux/issues/994.

## AI interpretation — verify before relying

google-crc32c provides a Python wrapper around Google's hardware-accelerated CRC32C hashing algorithm, enabling fast checksum computation for data integrity verification.

Verdict: google-crc32c is a stable, widely-used library (top 1000 PyPI) with no known vulnerabilities and good platform coverage via pre-built wheels. However, the repository is archived and abandoned, meaning no future maintenance or security updates should be expected. The unclear license status and medium install friction (compilation fallback) are additional considerations. Suitable for projects that can tolerate no upstream support.
