A python port of the JavaScript hashids implementation that provides bindings to the hashids.c <https://github.com/tzvetkoff/hashids.c> C implementation. It generates YouTube-like hashes from one or many numbers. Use hashids when you do not want to expose your database ids to the user. Website: http://www.hashids.org/

Install the module from PyPI, e. g. with pip:

pip install hashids-cffi

• The C library does not support unicode and therefor segfaults when passed a unicode string. Only ascii encoded alphabets, salts and hashes are currently allowed.
• The C library only supports unsigned long long integers (The maximum value is 2 ⁶⁴-1). If you need a wider range use the pure Python implementation
• The C library does not check for overflows so on rare occasions you might be provided with incorrect results.
• The C library is not thread safe and maintains global state for error reporting.
