Good point - one way encoding would be fine. Also this is performed millions of times so ideally efficient. On Wednesday, November 14, 2012 10:34:03 AM UTC+11, John Gordon wrote: > In <0692e6a2-343c-4eb0-be57-fe5c815ef...@googlegroups.com> Richard > writes: > > > >

These URL ID's would just be used internally for quick lookups, not exposed publicly in a web application. Ideally I would want to avoid collisions altogether. But if that means significant extra CPU time then 1 collision in 10 million hashes would be tolerable. -- http://mail.python.org/mailm

C++ object in PyObject*?

I am wondering, what is the best way to write a Python module as an interface to a C++ class? I don't want the C++ object representing the class to be declared as a global, because then if multiple instances in Python would be created, they would be using the same C++ object instance, correct? So
