        A small and insanely fast ARCFOUR (RC4) cipher implementation of Python.
        
        * Strongly focused on performance; entire source code is written in C.
        * Easily installable; single file with no dependency.
        
        Benchmark
        ---------
        
        Below is benchmark metrics against 3 major RC4 implementations.
        
        arc4 is 67 % faster than the de facto `PyCrypto <https://pypi.org/project/pycrypto/>`_ library.
        Also, 1889 % faster than pure-Python `rc4 <https://pypi.org/project/rc4/>`_ library.
        
        ========= ==============
        arc4      0.332659006119
        PyCrypto  0.544879198074
        rc4       6.60579204559
        ========= ==============
        
        The whole benchmark code is in ``./benchmark.py``.
        
        Install
        -------
        
        Install from PyPI::
        
           pip install arc4
        
        Or clone the repo and do install::
        
           git clone https://github.com/manicmaniac/arc4.git
           cd arc4
           python setup.py install
        
        Usage
        -----
        
        .. code:: python
        
           from arc4 import ARC4
        
           arc4 = ARC4('key')
           cipher = arc4.encrypt('some plain text to encrypt')
        
        Because RC4 is a stream cipher, you must initialize RC4 object in the beginning of each operations.
        
        .. code:: python
        
           arc4 = ARC4('key')
           arc4.decrypt(cipher)
        
        Testing
        -------
        
        .. code:: python
        
           python -m unittest discover
