PySkein was mainly tested on 64-bit Linux, but should run on various platforms supported by Python. Due to the design of the Skein algorithm, performance is significantly reduced on 32-bit systems.

Note: If you have a version of PySkein <0.5 installed, please make sure to manually delete “skein.*” from your Python site-packages directory before installing a more recent version!
All versions of PySkein <0.5 compute Skein hashes according to an older specification of Skein (version 1.1). Starting with PySkein 0.5, hashes are computed according to the current specification with updated rotation constants (version 1.2). This leads to different hash outputs.
