Hi Dan,

greetings from borgbackup development!

We currently discuss about getting rid of some code we have bundled and currently there is only crc32 code left.

We were searching where we could get some fast crc32 from and found libdeflate and your python wrapper for it.

Discussion: https://github.com/borgbackup/borg/issues/6316

Do you think a crc32 api could be added, so we could easily use it?

I've written a simple wrapper that should work as is unless there's something wrong with the function aesthetics (like no keywords, not that they're needed for a function as simple as crc32).
