  Description     : Pure Python FNV hash implementation

  Pure Python implementation of the FNV (Fowler-Noll-Vo) hash family. Offers
  100% test coverage and is suitable for applications where portability is
  more important than performance.
  .
  FNV is a non-cryptographic hash function that is fast and has excellent
  dispersion, making it suitable for hash tables and checksums.
  .
  Example usage:
  .
   >>> from fnvhash import fnv1a_32
   >>> hex(fnv1a_32(b'foo'))
   '0xa9f37ed7'

I plan to maintain this package as part of the Python team.
