python function that produces the same result as java's String.hashCode() found at http://garage.pimentech.net/libcommonPython_src_python_libcommon_javastringhashcode/

java_String_hashcode.py

def java_string_hashcode(s):
    h = 0
    for c in s:
        h = (31 * h + ord(c)) & 0xFFFFFFFF
    return ((h + 0x80000000) & 0xFFFFFFFF) - 0x80000000

Thanks!

Does it also work for python 3 integers? Which aren't same integers as in Java, more like BigInt ones
A quick test suggests it works, but I wonder if I miss some corner cases where it may fail

Ok, I think I have figured it out: & 0xFFFFFFFF makes sure it stays a 4-byte int. Thanks for the snippet!

Does someone have a similar function in python for Java's Objects.hash(val1, val2...valn)

Works! 👍

Thanks!
