Democritus functions[1] for working with uuids.
[1] Democritus functions are simple, effective, modular, well-tested, and well-documented Python functions.
We use d8s (pronounced "dee-eights") as an abbreviation for democritus (you can read more about this here).
pip install d8s-uuids
You import the library like:
from d8s_uuids import *Once imported, you can use any of the functions listed below.
-
def uuid4_examples(n: int = 10, *, uuids_as_strings: bool = True) -> Union[List[str], List[uuid.UUID]]: """Create n uuids."""
-
def uuid4() -> str: """Create a random UUID."""
-
def uuid3(name: str, *, namespace: Optional[uuid.UUID] = None) -> str: """Create a random uuid based on the given name."""
-
def uuid5(name: str, *, namespace: Optional[uuid.UUID] = None) -> str: """Create a random uuid based on the given name."""
-
def is_uuid(possible_uuid: Union[str, uuid.UUID], *, version: Optional[int] = None) -> bool: """Return whether or not the possible_uuid is a uuid."""
