        Installation
        ------------
        
        To get started, clone this repo and run ``make env`` or, alternatively,
        install it into your environment of choice (below). Note that you
        will need to have Cython installed before you install this package.
        
        .. code-block:: bash
        
            pip install -U cython
            pip install git+https://github.com/escherba/metrohash
        
        
        Example Usage
        -------------
        
        This package provides Python interfaces to 64- and 128-bit implementations
        of MetroHash algorithm. For stateless hashing, it exports `metrohash64` and
        ``metrohash128`` functions. Each has an optional ``seed`` parameter.
        
        .. code-block:: python
        
            >>> import metrohash
            ...
            >>> metrohash.metrohash64("abc", seed=0)
            17099979927131455419L
            >>> metrohash.metrohash128("abc")
            182995299641628952910564950850867298725L
        
        
        For incremental hashing, use ``CMetroHash64`` and ``CMetroHash128`` classes.
        Incremental hashing is associative and guarantees that any combination of
        input slices will result in the same final hash value. This is useful for
        processing large inputs and stream data.
        
        .. code-block:: python
        
            >>> mh = metrohash.CMetroHash64()
            >>> mh.update("Nobody inspects")
            >>> mh.update(" the spammish repetition")
            >>> mh.finalize()
            7851180100622203313L
        
        Note that the resulting hash value above is the same as:
        
        .. code-block:: python
        
            >>> mh = metrohash.CMetroHash64()
            >>> mh.update("Nobody inspects the spammish repetition")
            >>> mh.finalize()
            7851180100622203313L
