class uuid_utils.UUID

Property	Description
bytes	the UUID as a 16-byte string (containing the six integer fields in big-endian byte order)
bytes_le	the UUID as a 16-byte string (with time_low, time_mid, and time_hi_version in little-endian byte order)
fields	a tuple of the six integer fields of the UUID, which are also available as six individual attributes and two derived attributes
hex	the UUID as a 32-character hexadecimal string
int	the UUID as a 128-bit integer
urn	the UUID as a URN as specified in RFC 4122
variant	the UUID variant (one of the constants RESERVED_NCS, RFC_4122, RESERVED_MICROSOFT, or RESERVED_FUTURE)
version	the UUID version number
is_safe	An enum indicating whether the UUID has been generated in a way that is safe for multiprocessing applications, via uuid_generate_time_safe(3)
timestamp	The timestamp of the UUID in milliseconds since epoch. Only works for UUID versions 1, 6 and 7, otherwise raises ValueError.

module uuid_utils

Function	Description
uuid1	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.
uuid3	Generate a UUID from the MD5 hash of a namespace UUID and a name.
uuid4	Generate a random UUID.
uuid5	Generate a UUID from the SHA-1 hash of a namespace UUID and a name.
uuid6	Generate a version 6 UUID using the given timestamp and a host ID. This is similar to version 1 UUIDs, except that it is lexicographically sortable by timestamp.
uuid7	Generate a version 7 UUID using a time value and random bytes.
uuid8	Generate a custom UUID comprised almost entirely of user-supplied bytes.
getnode	Get the hardware address as a 48-bit positive integer.
