pydeep

Python/C bindings for the ssdeep library at http://ssdeep.sourceforge.net:

• hash_buf / hash_bytes - returns the ssdeep hash for a given buffer
• hash_file - returns the ssdeep hash for filepath
• compare - returns the % match between 2 hashes

import pydeep
pydeep.hash_buf('somedata')
pydeep.hash_file('/path/to/file')
pydeep.compare('hash1','hash2')

Replacing pyssdeep with pydeep

Pyssdeep was segfaulting manytimes on OSX. Thats why i quickly wrote pydeep.

Instead of:

 from ssdeep import ssdeep
 s = ssdeep()
 s.hash_file('some-file')

You can replace the first 2 lines with:

import pydeep as s

And you should be all set.
