Help on module uuid: NAME uuid - UUID objects (universally unique identifiers) according to RFC 4122. MODULE REFERENCE https://docs.python.org/3.10/library/uuid.html The following documentation is automatically generated from the Python source files. It may be incomplete, incorrect or include features that are considered implementation detail and may vary between Python implementations. When in doubt, consult the module reference at the location listed above. DESCRIPTION This module provides immutable UUID objects (class UUID) and the functions uuid1(), uuid3(), uuid4(), uuid5() for generating version 1, 3, 4, and 5 UUIDs as specified in RFC 4122. If all you want is a unique ID, you should probably call uuid1() or uuid4(). Note that uuid1() may compromise privacy since it creates a UUID containing the computer's network address. uuid4() creates a random UUID. Typical usage: >>> import uuid # make a UUID based on the host ID and current time >>> uuid.uuid1() # doctest: +SKIP UUID('a8098c1a-f86e-11da-bd1a-00112444be1e') # make a UUID using an MD5 hash of a namespace UUID and a name >>> uuid.uuid3(uuid.NAMESPACE_DNS, 'python.org') UUID('6fa459ea-ee8a-3ca4-894e-db77e160355e') # make a random UUID >>> uuid.uuid4() # doctest: +SKIP UUID('16fd2706-8baf-433b-82eb-8c7fada847da') # make a UUID using a SHA-1 hash of a namespace UUID and a name >>> uuid.uuid5(uuid.NAMESPACE_DNS, 'python.org') UUID('886313e1-3b8a-5372-9b90-0c9aee199e5d') # make a UUID from a string of hex digits (braces and hyphens ignored) >>> x = uuid.UUID('{00010203-0405-0607-0809-0a0b0c0d0e0f}') # convert a UUID to a string of hex digits in standard form >>> str(x) '00010203-0405-0607-0809-0a0b0c0d0e0f' # get the raw 16 bytes of the UUID >>> x.bytes b'\x00\x01\x02\x03\x04\x05\x06\x07\x08\t\n\x0b\x0c\r\x0e\x0f' # make a UUID from a 16-byte string >>> uuid.UUID(bytes=x.bytes) UUID('00010203-0405-0607-0809-0a0b0c0d0e0f') CLASSES builtins.object UUID enum.Enum(builtins.object) SafeUUID class SafeUUID(enum.Enum) | SafeUUID(value, names=None, *, module=None, qualname=None, type=None, start=1) | | An enumeration. | | Method resolution order: | SafeUUID | enum.Enum | builtins.object | | Data and other attributes defined here: | | safe = <SafeUUID.safe: 0> | | unknown = <SafeUUID.unknown: None> | | unsafe = <SafeUUID.unsafe: -1> | | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | Data descriptors inherited from enum.Enum: | | name | The name of the Enum member. | | value | The value of the Enum member. | | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | Readonly properties inherited from enum.EnumMeta: | | __members__ | Returns a mapping of member name->value. | | This mapping lists all enum members, including aliases.

The UUID constructor accepts | five possible forms: a similar string of hexadecimal digits, or a tuple | of six integer fields (with 32-bit, 16-bit, 16-bit, 8-bit, 8-bit, and | 48-bit values respectively) as an argument named 'fields', or a string | of 16 bytes (with all the integer fields in big-endian order) as an | argument named 'bytes', or a string of 16 bytes (with the first three | fields in little-endian order) as an argument named 'bytes_le', or a | single 128-bit integer as an argument named 'int'. | | UUIDs have these read-only attributes: | | bytes the UUID as a 16-byte string (containing the six | integer fields in big-endian byte order) | | bytes_le the UUID as a 16-byte string (with time_low, time_mid, | and time_hi_version in little-endian byte order) | | fields a tuple of the six integer fields of the UUID, | which are also available as six individual attributes | and two derived attributes: | | time_low the first 32 bits of the UUID | time_mid the next 16 bits of the UUID | time_hi_version the next 16 bits of the UUID | clock_seq_hi_variant the next 8 bits of the UUID | clock_seq_low the next 8 bits of the UUID | node the last 48 bits of the UUID | | time the 60-bit timestamp | clock_seq the 14-bit sequence number | | hex the UUID as a 32-character hexadecimal string | | int the UUID as a 128-bit integer | | urn the UUID as a URN as specified in RFC 4122 | | variant the UUID variant (one of the constants RESERVED_NCS, | RFC_4122, RESERVED_MICROSOFT, or RESERVED_FUTURE) | | version the UUID version number (1 through 5, meaningful only | when the variant is RFC_4122) | | is_safe An enum indicating whether the UUID has been generated in | a way that is safe for multiprocessing applications, via | uuid_generate_time_safe(3). | | Methods defined here: | | __eq__(self, other) | Return self==value. | | __ge__(self, other) | Return self>=value. | | __getstate__(self) | | __gt__(self, other) | Return self>value. | | __hash__(self) | Return hash(self). | | __init__(self, hex=None, bytes=None, bytes_le=None, fields=None, int=None, version=None, *, is_safe=<SafeUUID.unknown: None>) | Create a UUID from either a string of 32 hexadecimal digits, | a string of 16 bytes as the 'bytes' argument, a string of 16 bytes | in little-endian order as the 'bytes_le' argument, a tuple of six | integers (32-bit time_low, 16-bit time_mid, 16-bit time_hi_version, | 8-bit clock_seq_hi_variant, 8-bit clock_seq_low, 48-bit node) as | the 'fields' argument, or a single 128-bit integer as the 'int' | argument. When a string of hex digits is given, curly braces, | hyphens, and a URN prefix are all optional. For example, these | expressions all yield the same UUID: | | UUID('{12345678-1234-5678-1234-567812345678}') | UUID('12345678123456781234567812345678') | UUID('urn:uuid:12345678-1234-5678-1234-567812345678') | UUID(bytes='\x12\x34\x56\x78'*4) | UUID(bytes_le='\x78\x56\x34\x12\x34\x12\x78\x56' + | '\x12\x34\x56\x78\x12\x34\x56\x78') | UUID(fields=(0x12345678, 0x1234, 0x5678, 0x12, 0x34, 0x567812345678)) | UUID(int=0x12345678123456781234567812345678) | | Exactly one of 'hex', 'bytes', 'bytes_le', 'fields', or 'int' must | be given. The 'version' argument is optional; if given, the resulting | UUID will have its variant and version set according to RFC 4122, | overriding the given 'hex', 'bytes', 'bytes_le', 'fields', or 'int'. | | is_safe is an enum exposed as an attribute on the instance.

The first time this runs, it may launch a separate program, which could be quite slow. If all attempts to obtain the hardware address fail, we choose a random 48-bit number with its eighth bit set to 1 as recommended in RFC 4122. uuid1(node=None, clock_seq=None) Generate a UUID from a host ID, sequence number, and the current time. If 'node' is not given, getnode() is used to obtain the hardware address. If 'clock_seq' is given, it is used as the sequence number; otherwise a random 14-bit sequence number is chosen. uuid3(namespace, name) Generate a UUID from the MD5 hash of a namespace UUID and a name. uuid4() Generate a random UUID. uuid5(namespace, name) Generate a UUID from the SHA-1 hash of a namespace UUID and a name. DATA NAMESPACE_DNS = UUID('6ba7b810-9dad-11d1-80b4-00c04fd430c8') NAMESPACE_OID = UUID('6ba7b812-9dad-11d1-80b4-00c04fd430c8') NAMESPACE_URL = UUID('6ba7b811-9dad-11d1-80b4-00c04fd430c8') NAMESPACE_X500 = UUID('6ba7b814-9dad-11d1-80b4-00c04fd430c8') RESERVED_FUTURE = 'reserved for future definition' RESERVED_MICROSOFT = 'reserved for Microsoft compatibility' RESERVED_NCS = 'reserved for NCS compatibility' RFC_4122 = 'specified in RFC 4122' AUTHOR Ka-Ping Yee <ping AT zesty.ca> FILE /usr/lib/python3.10/uuid.py
