![]() Say for example print(hex(uuid.getnode())) We can compute these function values using the MAC address of the host and this can be done using the getnode() method of UUID module which will display the MAC value of a given system. In the above program, we can see the uuid1() function is used which generates the host id, the sequence number is displayed. Print("UUID of version one is as follows", uuid_version_1) Print("Progam to demonstrate uuid1() function:") Example #1īut we should note that when using uuid1() it might display network details such as the network address of the computer in UUID so it is not so safe to use uuid1() as it may arise privacy problems because it uses the systems MAC address. We will also see how the UUID looks like which means the structure of UUID. In the below section let us see a few examples of the use of function uuid1(), uuid3(), uuid4() and uuid5() using Python UUID module which is mainly used for generating UUID using MAC address. UUID.Safe this attribute tells us the uuid version used is safe or not.UUID.hex can hold the 32-bit hexadecimal string.UUID.fields which includes fields like time, clock_seq, node, etc.In Python, the UUID module provides various read-only attributes such as: In Python, this module provides various functions for different versions such as uuid1(), uuid3(), uuid4() and uuid5(). ![]() This Python UUID is implemented based on RFC 4211 which includes different algorithms and information regarding the unique identifiers that are to be generated along with the required versions of UUIDs. UUID is mainly composed of 5 components with fixed lengths and each component is separated by a hyphen and uses read attributes to define the UUID string. In Python, there is a library or module which is inbuilt and is used for generating unique identifiers that are universal or global and this module is known as UUID, this module can also generate different versions of UUIDs and these modules are immutable which means their value cannot be altered once generated. This Python UUID module provides different immutable Objects and different versions of functions such as uuid1(), uuid3(), uuid4(), uuid5() which are used for generating UUID’s of versions 1, 3, 4, and 5. ![]() Python UUID module generates the identifiers randomly which have the value of 128 bit long and these identifiers are useful for documents or information in computer systems, apps, hosts, and many different situations that will use unique identifiers. In this article, we will discuss Python UUID which is a Python module used for implementing or generating the universally unique identifiers and is also known as GUID globally unique identifiers.
