Python UUID Utils
Python UUID implementation using Rust's UUID library.
This will make uuid4
function around 10x faster.
This package can be a drop-in replacement to the standard library UUID which implements existing UUID versions like v4 in Rust and also adds draft UUID versions like v6.
Avaialble UUID versions:
uuid1
- Version 1 UUIDs using a timestamp and monotonic counter.uuid3
- Version 3 UUIDs based on the MD5 hash of some data.uuid4
- Version 4 UUIDs with random data.uuid5
- Version 5 UUIDs based on the SHA1 hash of some data.uuid6
- Version 6 UUIDs using a timestamp and monotonic counter.uuid7
- Version 7 UUIDs using a Unix timestamp ordered by time.uuid8
- Version 8 UUIDs using user-defined data.
Please note that UUID versions 6, 7 and 8 are still in draft RFC.
Installation
Using pip
:
$ pip install uuid-utils
or, using conda
:
$ conda install -c conda-forge uuid-utils
Example
>>> import uuid_utils as uuid
>>> # make a random UUID
>>> uuid.uuid4()
UUID('ffe95fcc-b818-4aca-a350-e0a35b9de6ec')
>>> # make a random UUID using a Unix timestamp which is time-ordered.
>>> uuid.uuid7()
UUID('018afa4a-0d21-7e6c-b857-012bc678552b')
>>> # 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 using an MD5 hash of a namespace UUID and a name
>>> uuid.uuid3(uuid.NAMESPACE_DNS, 'python.org')
UUID('6fa459ea-ee8a-3ca4-894e-db77e160355e')
Compatibility
In some cases, for example if you are using Django
, you might need UUID
instances to be returned
from the standrad-library uuid
, not a custom UUID
class.
In that case you can use the uuid_utils.compat
which comes with a performance penalty
in comparison with the uuid_utils
default behaviour, but is still faster than the standard-library.
>>> import uuid_utils.compat as uuid
>>> # make a random UUID
>>> uuid.uuid4()
UUID('ffe95fcc-b818-4aca-a350-e0a35b9de6ec')

Benchmark results might vary in different environments, but in most cases the uuid_utils should outperform stdlib uuid.
