Fast UUID v7 generator written in Rust🦅

Features

• Very fast UUID v7 generator (see benchmarks)

Installation

Using pip:

Using uv:

uv pip install uuid7-rs

Example

import uuid7_rs

print(uuid7_rs.uuid7())         # 019ea835-f42a-7dd5-8fc3-9f91aab5a95e 
# or
print(uuid7_rs.compat.uuid7())  # 019ea835-f42b-7dbd-a198-1b6d65ef5eb4

Compatibility with Python uuid.UUID

In some cases, for example if you are using Django, you might need uuid.UUID instances to be returned from the standard-library uuid, not a custom UUID class.

In that case you can use the uuid7-rs.compat which comes with a performance penalty in comparison with the uuid7-rs default behaviour, but is still faster than the standard-library.

import uuid7_rs.compat as uuid

# make a random UUID
print(repr(uuid.uuid7()))
# UUID('019d1ab3-f95a-79df-b868-56fe41c33af3')
