GUID Module |
The GUID Module currently contains only one function, called guid.generate_guid(). It can be used in any Python scripts to create a globally unique ID (GUID):
| Function | Description |
|---|---|
| guid.generate_guid(BitStrength) | Generates a GUID. BitStrength is the requested size of the GUID in bits. BitStrength can be any value divisible by 8 that is greater than or equal to 128. If BitStrength is not specified, 128 is used. Note that the number of characters in the GUID is equal to the number of bits divided by four. For example, if BitStrength is 192, the GUID returned is 48 characters long. |

| If you are using SQL Server 2000, you must add dashes, in specific places, to the GUID returned by guid.generate_guid(). See Using the GUID Generator with SQL Server 2000 for details on how to do this. | ||
