We could use pow(character,somenumber,mod) to do it.
It is secure but it may not be fast enough.

The probability of getting non unique values is logically multiplied by 2 using
the modulo method.
If you don't mind dealing with long integers, you can simply add the absolute
value of the minimum integer: hash(value) + sys.maxint + 1.
In any case, i think it's better to use sys.maxint, instead
Will that be unique(near unique)? Want to make sure hashing someother string
will not produce the same hash value.

Subject: Re: [BangPypers] Hash function that returns unsigned int
Just modulo the hash function
`hash_value % (2**32)`

Is anyone aware of any non-cryptographic hash function whose value is only
postive integer. Pythons inbuilt hash function is a signed integer.
