> Is this relationship (same low 32 bits) guaranteed?No. Nothing about hashes is guaranteed, except that when x and y are
of a hashable type, and x == y, then hash(x) == hash(y) too.
> Will it change in the future version?That's possible, but not planned. Note that the guts of string
hashing in CPython today is implemented via
while (--len >= 0)
x = (1000003*x) ^ *p++;
where x is C type "long", and the C language doesn't even define what
that does (behavior when signed multiplication overflows isn't defined
in C).
