1r"""UUID objects (universally unique identifiers) according to RFC 4122.
2
3This module provides immutable UUID objects (class UUID) and the functions
4uuid1(), uuid3(), uuid4(), uuid5() for generating version 1, 3, 4, and 5
5UUIDs as specified in RFC 4122.
6
7If all you want is a unique ID, you should probably call uuid1() or uuid4().
8Note that uuid1() may compromise privacy since it creates a UUID containing
9the computer's network address.  uuid4() creates a random UUID.
10
11Typical usage:
12
13    >>> import uuid
14
15    # make a UUID based on the host ID and current time
16    >>> uuid.uuid1()
17    UUID('a8098c1a-f86e-11da-bd1a-00112444be1e')
18
19    # make a UUID using an MD5 hash of a namespace UUID and a name
20    >>> uuid.uuid3(uuid.NAMESPACE_DNS, 'python.org')
21    UUID('6fa459ea-ee8a-3ca4-894e-db77e160355e')
22
23    # make a random UUID
24    >>> uuid.uuid4()
25    UUID('16fd2706-8baf-433b-82eb-8c7fada847da')
26
27    # make a UUID using a SHA-1 hash of a namespace UUID and a name
28    >>> uuid.uuid5(uuid.NAMESPACE_DNS, 'python.org')
29    UUID('886313e1-3b8a-5372-9b90-0c9aee199e5d')
30
31    # make a UUID from a string of hex digits (braces and hyphens ignored)
32    >>> x = uuid.UUID('{00010203-0405-0607-0809-0a0b0c0d0e0f}')
33
34    # convert a UUID to a string of hex digits in standard form
35    >>> str(x)
36    '00010203-0405-0607-0809-0a0b0c0d0e0f'
37
38    # get the raw 16 bytes of the UUID
39    >>> x.bytes
40    '\x00\x01\x02\x03\x04\x05\x06\x07\x08\t\n\x0b\x0c\r\x0e\x0f'
41
42    # make a UUID from a 16-byte string
43    >>> uuid.UUID(bytes=x.bytes)
44    UUID('00010203-0405-0607-0809-0a0b0c0d0e0f')

54    """Instances of the UUID class represent UUIDs as specified in RFC 4122.
55    UUID objects are immutable, hashable, and usable as dictionary keys.
56    Converting a UUID to a string with str() yields something in the form
57    '12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789abc'.  The UUID constructor accepts
58    five possible forms: a similar string of hexadecimal digits, or a tuple
59    of six integer fields (with 32-bit, 16-bit, 16-bit, 8-bit, 8-bit, and
60    48-bit values respectively) as an argument named 'fields', or a string
61    of 16 bytes (with all the integer fields in big-endian order) as an
62    argument named 'bytes', or a string of 16 bytes (with the first three
63    fields in little-endian order) as an argument named 'bytes_le', or a
64    single 128-bit integer as an argument named 'int'.
65
66    UUIDs have these read-only attributes:
67
68        bytes       the UUID as a 16-byte string (containing the six
69                    integer fields in big-endian byte order)
70
71        bytes_le    the UUID as a 16-byte string (with time_low, time_mid,
72                    and time_hi_version in little-endian byte order)
73
74        fields      a tuple of the six integer fields of the UUID,
75                    which are also available as six individual attributes
76                    and two derived attributes:
77
78            time_low                the first 32 bits of the UUID
79            time_mid                the next 16 bits of the UUID
80            time_hi_version         the next 16 bits of the UUID
81            clock_seq_hi_variant    the next 8 bits of the UUID
82            clock_seq_low           the next 8 bits of the UUID
83            node                    the last 48 bits of the UUID
84

86            clock_seq               the 14-bit sequence number
87
88        hex         the UUID as a 32-character hexadecimal string
89
90        int         the UUID as a 128-bit integer
91
92        urn         the UUID as a URN as specified in RFC 4122
93
94        variant     the UUID variant (one of the constants RESERVED_NCS,
95                    RFC_4122, RESERVED_MICROSOFT, or RESERVED_FUTURE)
96
97        version     the UUID version number (1 through 5, meaningful only
