Python trick generating unique ids
Raw
python-tricks_others_1.py
# This creates a randomized 128-bit number that will almost certainly be unique.
# In fact, there are over 2¹²² possible UUIDs that can be generated. That’s over five undecillion (or 5,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000).
>>> import uuid
>>> user_id = uuid.uuid4()
>>> user_id
UUID('7c2faedd-805a-478e-bd6a-7b26210425c7')
