Uuid generator python software#

The following software was used to create this project:

Uuid generator python install#

Sudo apt-get install python3-tk Other Software If you are using the independant released exexutable simply substitute the extensions in the following examples to.

Uuid generator python code#

The following code block uses shorthand arguments, the tool provides the facility to use both short (e.g. The following arguments are compatible with the respective UUID-version generation. F1: Opens a popup window with author/version information.CTRL + 4: Generate a Version 4 UUID (based on RNG).CTRL + 1: Generare a Version 1 (Datetime & MAC Address)UUID.CTRL + S: Save the current UUIDs to a text (.CTRL + N: Clear-down the UUIDs in the current tool,ready for new generation.The following Keyboard Shortcuts are available: About: Opens a popup window with author/version information.Special Nil UUID: Generate a Nil UUID ( 0's).Version 4 UUID: Generate a Version 4 UUID (based on RNG).Version 1 UUID: Generare a Version 1 (Datetime & MAC Address) UUID.Save As.: Save the current UUIDs to a new text (.Save: Save the current UUIDs to a text (.New: Clear-down the UUIDs in the current tool, ready for new generation.Simply open/execute python3 unique_gui.py to be presented with the following graphical interface: Using the tkinter library, a gui is available to generate UUIDs for those not comfortable with the command line. Usage Graphical User Interface ( unique_gui.py) Anyone can create a UUID and use it to identify something with near certainty that the identifier does not duplicate one that has already been, or will be, created to identify something else.

Uuid generator python registration#

Their uniqueness does not depend on a central registration authority or coordination between the parties generating them. UUIDs are, for practical purposes, unique. This tool started as a way to automatically generate 20 v4 UUIDs (the only one not static or engineered to a set of hardware) and has now been updated and released to hopefully demonstrate my profeciency with git, git-flow, markdown, python, ui design, ux design, tkinter, oosd, argument parsing, RegEx, Base64, Hexadecimal, Docker, and more! What is a UUID? (from Wikipedia)Ī universally unique identifier (UUID) is a 128-bit number used to identify information in computer systems.

Platform Agnostic: Python, Docker & Windowsīack in May 2016, I needed a random number generator and started learning about UUIDs.

Shorten UUIDs using Base64 Encoding ( -s).

Non-Standard: Output UUID as Uppercase ( -U).

Commandline Unix-Like tool and Graphical User Interface.

Support for DNS (FWDN), URL, OID and X.500 Namespaces ( -ns).

Generate UUID Versions 1, 3, 4, 5 and the 'Special Nil Case'/0 ( GUI 0/1/4 Only).

Note: A Version 4 UUID is the default, safe and extremely random output of this tool. This project in availble as native python source, a windows executable and docker image. unique.py will generate UUIDs (using a CLI) in a variey of flavours whilst unique_gui.py wraps this up in a pretty GUI. It does strong validation and produces correct results.'Unique': the UUID generator tool.

But for my purposes this function is all I need.

PS: The subprocess call could probably be replaced with ctypes directly calling Windows kernel/DLLs. Uses Windows API to get the computer's permanent UUID, then processes the string to ensure it's a valid UUID, and lastly returns a Python object ( ) which gives you convenient ways to use the data (such as 128-bit integer, hex string, etc). # Ensure we have exactly 32 characters (16 bytes). # and useless dashes etc, by only keeping hex (0-9 A-F) chars. # Remove the surrounding whitespace (newlines, space, etc) # Attempt to extract the UUID from the command's result. Txt = subprocess.check_output('wmic csproduct get uuid').decode() # Ask Windows for the device's permanent UUID. from typing import Optionalĭef get_windows_uuid() -> Optional: If you want a permanent UUID that identifies a machine uniquely on Windows, you can use this trick: (Copied from my answer at ). > # convert a UUID to a string of hex digits in standard form > # make a UUID from a string of hex digits (braces and hyphens ignored) > # make a UUID using a SHA-1 hash of a namespace UUID and a name > # make a UUID using an MD5 hash of a namespace UUID and a name > # make a UUID based on the host ID and current time Copied from : (Since the links posted were not active and they keep updating) > import uuid
