Description : cython wrapper for libfuzzy
Long description from upstream:
| This is a straightforward Python wrapper for ssdeep by Jesse Kornblum,
| which is a library for computing context triggered piecewise hashes
| (CTPH). Also called fuzzy hashes, CTPH can match inputs that have
| homologies. Such inputs have sequences of identical bytes in the same
| order, although bytes in between these sequences may be different in
| both content and length.
Note that upstream embeds a copy of ssdeep. This package will use the
system libfuzzy instead.
Helmut
