py-multihash¶
Multihash implementation in Python
Free software: MIT license
Documentation: https://multihash.readthedocs.io.
Python versions: Python 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, 3.13, 3.14
Features¶
Support for 125+ hash functions including:
Cryptographic hashes: SHA-1, SHA-2 (224/256/384/512), SHA-3, BLAKE2b, BLAKE2s, BLAKE3
Variable-length hashes: SHAKE-128, SHAKE-256
Non-cryptographic hashes: MurmurHash3 (32-bit and 128-bit)
Specialized hashes: Double-SHA-256 (Bitcoin), Keccak, and more
BLAKE2 variants: Full range of digest sizes (8-512 bits for BLAKE2b, 8-256 bits for BLAKE2s)
Streaming hash computation for large files
Hash truncation support
JSON serialization
MultihashSet collection type
Go-compatible API (
sum(),digest(),verify())
Quick Start¶
from multihash import digest, sum, Func
# Using modern hash functions
mh = digest(b"hello world", "blake3")
# Using MurmurHash3 for fast, non-cryptographic hashing
mh = digest(b"data", "murmur3-128")
# Using BLAKE2b with custom digest size
mh = digest(b"data", "blake2b-256")
# Go-compatible API
mh = sum(b"hello world", Func.sha2_256)
print(mh.encode('hex'))
For more examples and usage, see the documentation.
