To develop locally, you will need:

• A dedicated Python environment
• The requirements.txt python libraries installed

pip install -r requirements.txt

Once you performed changes to the rust source code, you can build the project using:

maturin develop

And you will then be able to run the python unit tests:

pytest

⏱️ Benchmarks

First, you should install murmurh using the release (optimised) build.

maturin develop --release

Then, you can use timeit to benchmark:

python -m timeit -s "import murmurh" "murmurh.hash('foo')"

1000000 loops, best of 5: 200 nsec per loop

python -m timeit -s "import mmh3" "mmh3.hash128('foo')"

2000000 loops, best of 5: 136 nsec per loop
