20.15. uuid — UUID objects according to RFC 4122¶
버전 2.5에 추가.
This module provides immutable UUID objects (the UUID class)
and the functions uuid1(), uuid3(), uuid4(), uuid5() for
generating version 1, 3, 4, and 5 UUIDs as specified in RFC 4122.
If all you want is a unique ID, you should probably call uuid1() or
uuid4(). Note that uuid1() may compromise privacy since it creates
a UUID containing the computer’s network address. uuid4() creates a
random UUID.

uuid.UUID([hex[, bytes[, bytes_le[, fields[, int[, version]]]]]])¶ Create a UUID from either a string of 32 hexadecimal digits, a string of 16 bytes in big-endian order as the bytes argument, a string of 16 bytes in little-endian order as the bytes_le argument, a tuple of six integers (32-bit time_low, 16-bit time_mid, 16-bit time_hi_version, 8-bit clock_seq_hi_variant, 8-bit clock_seq_low, 48-bit node) as the fields argument, or a single 128-bit integer as the int argument. When a string of hex digits is given, curly braces, hyphens, and a URN prefix are all optional. For example, these expressions all yield the same UUID:
UUID('{12345678-1234-5678-1234-567812345678}') UUID('12345678123456781234567812345678') UUID('urn:uuid:12345678-1234-5678-1234-567812345678') UUID(bytes='\x12\x34\x56\x78'*4) UUID(bytes_le='\x78\x56\x34\x12\x34\x12\x78\x56' + '\x12\x34\x56\x78\x12\x34\x56\x78') UUID(fields=(0x12345678, 0x1234, 0x5678, 0x12, 0x34, 0x567812345678)) UUID(int=0x12345678123456781234567812345678)
Exactly one of hex, bytes, bytes_le, fields, or int must be given. The version argument is optional; if given, the resulting UUID will have its variant and version number set according to RFC 4122, overriding bits in the given hex, bytes, bytes_le, fields, or int.
UUID instances have these read-only attributes:
-
UUID.bytes¶ The UUID as a 16-byte string (containing the six integer fields in big-endian byte order).
-
UUID.bytes_le¶ The UUID as a 16-byte string (with time_low, time_mid, and time_hi_version in little-endian byte order).
-
UUID.fields¶ A tuple of the six integer fields of the UUID, which are also available as six individual attributes and two derived attributes:
Field
Meaning
time_lowthe first 32 bits of the UUID
time_midthe next 16 bits of the UUID
time_hi_versionthe next 16 bits of the UUID
clock_seq_hi_variantthe next 8 bits of the UUID
clock_seq_lowthe next 8 bits of the UUID
nodethe last 48 bits of the UUID
the 60-bit timestamp
clock_seqthe 14-bit sequence number
-
UUID.hex¶ The UUID as a 32-character hexadecimal string.
-
UUID.int¶ The UUID as a 128-bit integer.
-
UUID.urn¶ The UUID as a URN as specified in RFC 4122.
-
UUID.variant¶ The UUID variant, which determines the internal layout of the UUID. This will be one of the constants
RESERVED_NCS,RFC_4122,RESERVED_MICROSOFT, orRESERVED_FUTURE.
The uuid module defines the following functions:
-
uuid.getnode()¶ Get the hardware address as a 48-bit positive integer. The first time this runs, it may launch a separate program, which could be quite slow. If all attempts to obtain the hardware address fail, we choose a random 48-bit number with its eighth bit set to 1 as recommended in RFC 4122. 《Hardware address》 means the MAC address of a network interface, and on a machine with multiple network interfaces the MAC address of any one of them may be returned.
-
uuid.uuid1([node[, clock_seq]])¶ Generate a UUID from a host ID, sequence number, and the current time. If node is not given,
getnode()is used to obtain the hardware address. If clock_seq is given, it is used as the sequence number; otherwise a random 14-bit sequence number is chosen.
-
uuid.uuid3(namespace, name)¶ Generate a UUID based on the MD5 hash of a namespace identifier (which is a UUID) and a name (which is a string).
-
uuid.uuid4()¶ Generate a random UUID.
-
uuid.uuid5(namespace, name)¶ Generate a UUID based on the SHA-1 hash of a namespace identifier (which is a UUID) and a name (which is a string).
The uuid module defines the following namespace identifiers for use with
uuid3() or uuid5().
-
uuid.NAMESPACE_DNS¶ When this namespace is specified, the name string is a fully-qualified domain name.
-
uuid.NAMESPACE_URL¶ When this namespace is specified, the name string is a URL.
-
uuid.NAMESPACE_OID¶ When this namespace is specified, the name string is an ISO OID.
-
uuid.NAMESPACE_X500¶ When this namespace is specified, the name string is an X.500 DN in DER or a text output format.
The uuid module defines the following constants for the possible values
of the variant attribute:
-
uuid.RESERVED_NCS¶ Reserved for NCS compatibility.
-
uuid.RESERVED_MICROSOFT¶ Reserved for Microsoft compatibility.
-
uuid.RESERVED_FUTURE¶ Reserved for future definition.

20.15.1. Example¶
Here are some examples of typical usage of the uuid module:
>>> import uuid
>>> # make a UUID based on the host ID and current time
>>> uuid.uuid1()
UUID('a8098c1a-f86e-11da-bd1a-00112444be1e')
>>> # 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')
>>> # make a random UUID
>>> uuid.uuid4()
UUID('16fd2706-8baf-433b-82eb-8c7fada847da')
>>> # 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 from a string of hex digits (braces and hyphens ignored)
>>> x = uuid.UUID('{00010203-0405-0607-0809-0a0b0c0d0e0f}')
>>> # convert a UUID to a string of hex digits in standard form
>>> str(x)
'00010203-0405-0607-0809-0a0b0c0d0e0f'
>>> # get the raw 16 bytes of the UUID
>>> x.bytes
'\x00\x01\x02\x03\x04\x05\x06\x07\x08\t\n\x0b\x0c\r\x0e\x0f'
>>> # make a UUID from a 16-byte string
>>> uuid.UUID(bytes=x.bytes)
UUID('00010203-0405-0607-0809-0a0b0c0d0e0f')
