GUID Examples |
To generate a 256-bit GUID:
# Generates a 256-bit GUID. # For example, '5AC76A473800C7B04D7481AA4ACC348C161AC91EE21B46C016BF0E2C6812CE06.' # The number in parentheses indicates the number of bits. # The number of characters equals the number of bits divided by four. from ifware import guid value = guid.generate_guid(256) |
Errors will occur if the bit strength is not divisible by 8, or is less than 128. For example:
# An error is thrown when the bit strength not divisible by 8, as shown in this example: value = guid.generate_guid(257) |
# An error is also thrown when the bit strength is less than 128, as shown in this example: value = guid.generate_guid(64) |
