Description: # Fingerprint -- Document Fingerprint Generator
        
        ## Fingerprint of a document
        Fingerprint is a signature of the document. In particular, it is a representative subset of hash values from the set of all hash values of a document. For more detail, please consider taking a look at [Winnowing: Local Algorithms for Document Fingerprinting](http://theory.stanford.edu/~aiken/publications/papers/sigmod03.pdf) *(specifically Figure 2)*.
        
        ## Super simple to use
        Fingerprint is very simple to use.
        ```python
        f = Fingerprint(kgram_len=4, window_len=5, base=10, modulo=1000)
        print f.generate(str="adorunrunrunadorunrun")
        print f.generate(fpath="/Users/test/docs/CHANGES.txt")
        ```
        The default values for the parameters are
        ```python
        kgram_len = 50
        window_len = 100
        base = 101
        modulo = sys.maxint
        ```
        
        ## Install
        ```sh
        pip install fingerprint
        ```
