uuid-lib

python uuid-lib

Python library written in rust that lets you use uuid1..8 funcs.

Available functions

uuid1 - Generated based on a timestamp, a unique node identifier (typically a MAC address), and a random component.

uuid2 - Similar to UUID1 but includes a group or user identifier, making it less popular and rarely used.

uuid3 - Generated using the MD5 hash function based on a namespace and a unique string (e.g., a URL).

uuid4 - A fully random UUID, potentially using cryptographically secure random number generators.

uuid5 - Similar to UUID3 but uses SHA-1 instead of MD5 for hashing unique data and the namespace.

uuid6 - A modified version of UUID1 with the timestamp in sequential order, improving database indexing performance.

uuid7 - Generated based on a timestamp using Unix Epoch format and random bits to ensure uniqueness.

uuid8 - Reserved for custom UUIDs with arbitrary generation schemes, leaving implementation details open. Accepts any UUID as bytes (If UUID generated by this lib, use object.bytes proprety)

Installation

  pip install uuid-lib

Install uuid-lib with poetry:

Usage/Examples

...

from uuid_lib import uuid4, uuid7, uuid8(), ...


user_id = uuid7()  # <- Creates UUID object


# For uuid8(...) 

some_id = uuid8(user_id.bytes)
# or
some_id = uuid8(uuid4().bytes)
