CFFI bindings to the CMPH library

These bindings provide python with the ability to create and use Minimal Perfect Hashes via the CMPH library.

Installation

Should be as simple as

$ pip install cmph-cffi

Development version

The latest development version can be installed directly from GitHub:

$ pip install --upgrade 'git+https://github.com/URXtech/cmph-cffi'

Usage

Creating a new MPH

import cmph
with open('/usr/share/dict/words', 'w') as keys:
    mph = cmph.generate_hash(keys)

Getting keys out of an MPH

mph('Test')

Saving the MPH

with open('/tmp/out.mph', 'w') as out_file:
    mph.save(out_file)

Loading a pre-existing MPH

with open('/tmp/out.mph') as in_file:
    cmph.load_hash(in_file)

Authors

Greg Bowyer (@GregBowyer) and Venkatesh Sharma (@Venkateshks) created these bindings and these fine people did all the hard implementation work in CMPH.
