AI interpretation — verify before relying

AI-generated interpretation of the package facts above; every digit, version, license, or vulnerability id it cites is grounded in the facts already shown on this page

Provides fast MurmurHash2 hashing through Cython bindings, enabling efficient hash computation for data in Python applications.

Medium install friction due to compiled wheels across multiple platforms (macOS, Linux, Windows, ARM), but well-maintained with active development—last commit 2026-03-27 and release 2025-11-14. No runtime dependencies simplify deployment.

MIT license (permissive) places no restrictions on use, modification, or distribution in commercial or proprietary projects.

Usage

pip install murmurhash==1.0.15

import murmurhash

Requires Python >=3.6,<3.15; compiled wheels available for common platforms but may require build tools on unsupported architectures.

Verdict: Production-stable, actively maintained hashing library with zero security vulnerabilities and permissive licensing. Medium install friction is offset by broad platform support and zero runtime dependencies, making it suitable for applications requiring efficient hash computation.
