Description
This pull request removes backwards-compatible APIs and constructor patterns originally introduced to facilitate migration from the legacy
pymultihashpackage. As these compatibility layers have served their purpose and are now obsolete, their complete removal streamlines the codebase and improves long-term maintainability.Closes #60.
Proposed Changes
Multihash(func, digest)fallback from theMultihashobject.Multihashto standardnamedtuplebehavior using strictly(code, name, length, digest).digest()andsum_stream()helper functions to explicitly compute and construct theMultihashobject using the canonical(code, name, length, digest)signature.Justification
Removing these legacy wrappers ensures the library only supports the canonical usage patterns, reduces architectural complexity, and brings the implementation closer to native Python standards without carrying unnecessary historical baggage.
