Unique id from random chars and optional date-time.

Project description

uqid:

pip install uqid
from uqid import uqid, digits

print(uqid()) # e7ljCIs4grYZ9tOv6bpX3TQIA7FyA23umzGjDcIjHff2XwF2ziAw56B7S3EdOuCA
print(uqid(4, digits)) # 4982
  • Returns unique id from random chars.

  • Default is 64 chars 0-9a-zA-Z aka base62.

dtid:

pip install uqid
from uqid import dtid
print(dtid())

YYYYMMDDhhmmssmicrosrnd4
20161231235959123456uN1q
  • 24 bytes by default - as str(ObjectId()).

  • But human-friendly - unlike ObjectId.

  • Microsecond-precise UTC timestamp - unlike second-precise ObjectId().

  • May extract datetime_from_dtid().

  • May be used as a log timestamp as is.

  • Alphabetically ordered.

  • Safe chars 0-9a-zA-Z - unlike binary ObjectId() leading to “ValueError: Invalid UTF-8 sequence length” if added to JSON without str().

  • base62^4 is over 14M uniques per microsecond.

  • dtid(24) is 2x faster than uqid(24) but slower than str(ObjectId())
