rolling_checksum_py_mod module

Provides a very simple rolling checksum for file data

class rolling_checksum_py_mod.Rolling_checksum

Bases: object

Compute a very simple, fast, rolling checksum. We don’t maintain a list of bytes or anything - we just produce checksums on demand. Inspired by linear congruential random number generation. It’s not quite the same thing though.

add_byte(byte)

Add a byte into our rolling checksum function

get_modulus()

Return the modulus

rolling_checksum_py_mod.min_max_chunker(file_)

Make sure chunk sizes are above and below a pair of thresholds

rolling_checksum_py_mod.n_level_chunker(file_, levels=1)

Divide a file up into portions when we get 3 in-range checksums in a row
