This PR introduces the optional parameter
data
, which accepts a bytes-like object implementing the buffer protocol, as the first argument. This change aligns the API of Python’s standardhashlib
library.Backward Compatibility: In previous versions, the first optional argument was
seed
, an integer. This update introduces a backward-incompatibility, as the new argument takes precedence. For example, code likemmh3.mmh3_x64_128(1234)
will now raise an errorTypeError: a bytes-like object is required, not 'int'
.Version Update: Due to this breaking change, I will bump the version to 5.0.0 in accordance with semantic versioning.
