Pyntegrity

Pyntegrity is Python package that helps you check a file integrity.

Supported Python versions

Tested on:

• Python 3.7
• Python 3.8
• Python 3.9
• Python 3.10

Documentation

Latest version is 1.2.0

Installation

To install Pyntegrity use pip:

pip install pyntegrity

Supported features

Checksum algorithms

The supported checksum algorithms are:

• md5
• sha256
• sha512

Target files sizes

For now mostly small files since it loads the whole file in memory to calculate its checksum

How to use

In your program import the class IntegrityValidator:

from pyntegrity.core import IntegrityValidator

Initialize it with the target file and the expected checksum (it automatically detects which checksum algorithm to use), example:

obj = IntegrityValidator(
            str_path="my_file.txt",
            checksum_str="my_checksum",
        )

Then use the function validate_file_integrity to check the file integrity, it returns True if the target file checksum equal the one passed in the class constructor, if else it returns False, example:

status = obj.validate_file_integrity()

Side note

Right now it will open anyfile in text mode (even binary).

Future features

• Support more file type modes
• Support more checksum algorithms
• Support for big files
