我需要根据随机值生成唯一ID。

也许uuid.uuid4()可能会完成这项工作。有关详细信息,请参阅uuid

答案 1 :(得分:101)

您可能需要Python的UUID功能:

21.15. uuid — UUID objects according to RFC 4122

例如:

import uuid
print uuid.uuid4()

唯一且随机是互斥的。也许你想要这个?

import random
def uniqueid():
    seed = random.getrandbits(32)
    while True:
       yield seed
       seed += 1

用法:

unique_sequence = uniqueid()
id1 = next(unique_sequence)
id2 = next(unique_sequence)
id3 = next(unique_sequence)
ids = list(itertools.islice(unique_sequence, 1000))

没有两个返回的id是相同的(Unique),这是基于随机种子值

import time
import random
import socket
import hashlib

def guid( *args ):
    """
    Generates a universally unique ID.
    Any arguments only create more randomness.
    """
    t = long( time.time() * 1000 )
    r = long( random.random()*100000000000000000L )
    try:
        a = socket.gethostbyname( socket.gethostname() )
    except:
        # if we can't get a network address, just imagine one
        a = random.random()*100000000000000000L
    data = str(t)+' '+str(r)+' '+str(a)+' '+str(args)
    data = hashlib.md5(data).hexdigest()

    return data

也许这适用于你

str(uuid.uuid4().fields[-1])[:5]

也许是uuid模块?

在这里你可以找到一个实现:

def __uniqueid__():
    """
      generate unique id with length 17 to 21.
      ensure uniqueness even with daylight savings events (clocks adjusted one-hour backward).

      if you generate 1 million ids per second during 100 years, you will generate 
      2*25 (approx sec per year) * 10**6 (1 million id per sec) * 100 (years) = 5 * 10**9 unique ids.

      with 17 digits (radix 16) id, you can represent 16**17 = 295147905179352825856 ids (around 2.9 * 10**20).
      In fact, as we need far less than that, we agree that the format used to represent id (seed + timestamp reversed)
      do not cover all numbers that could be represented with 35 digits (radix 16).

      if you generate 1 million id per second with this algorithm, it will increase the seed by less than 2**12 per hour
      so if a DST occurs and backward one hour, we need to ensure to generate unique id for twice times for the same period.
      the seed must be at least 1 to 2**13 range. if we want to ensure uniqueness for two hours (100% contingency), we need 
      a seed for 1 to 2**14 range. that's what we have with this algorithm. You have to increment seed_range_bits if you
      move your machine by airplane to another time zone or if you have a glucky wallet and use a computer that can generate
      more than 1 million ids per second.

      one word about predictability : This algorithm is absolutely NOT designed to generate unpredictable unique id.
      you can add a sha-1 or sha-256 digest step at the end of this algorithm but you will loose uniqueness and enter to collision probability world.
      hash algorithms ensure that for same id generated here, you will have the same hash but for two differents id (a pair of ids), it is
      possible to have the same hash with a very little probability. You would certainly take an option on a bijective function that maps
      35 digits (or more) number to 35 digits (or more) number based on cipher block and secret key. read paper on breaking PRNG algorithms 
      in order to be convinced that problems could occur as soon as you use random library :)

      1 million id per second ?... on a Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6400 @ 2.13GHz, you get :

      >>> timeit.timeit(uniqueid,number=40000)
      1.0114529132843018

      an average of 40000 id/second
    """
    mynow=datetime.now
    sft=datetime.strftime
    # store old datetime each time in order to check if we generate during same microsecond (glucky wallet !)
    # or if daylight savings event occurs (when clocks are adjusted backward) [rarely detected at this level]
    old_time=mynow() # fake init - on very speed machine it could increase your seed to seed + 1... but we have our contingency :)
    # manage seed
    seed_range_bits=14 # max range for seed
    seed_max_value=2**seed_range_bits - 1 # seed could not exceed 2**nbbits - 1

        if current_time <= old_time:
            # previous id generated in the same microsecond or Daylight saving time event occurs (when clocks are adjusted backward)
            seed = max(1,(seed + 1) % seed_max_value)

        # return a new id
        yield newid

""" you get a new id for each call of uniqueid() """
uniqueid=__uniqueid__().next

import unittest
class UniqueIdTest(unittest.TestCase):
    def testGen(self):
        for _ in range(3):
            m=[uniqueid() for _ in range(10)]

答案 7 :(得分:3)

这将非常快速地工作,但不会生成随机值,而是单调增加(对于给定的线程)。

import threading

_uid = threading.local()
def genuid():
    if getattr(_uid, "uid", None) is None:
        _uid.tid = threading.current_thread().ident
        _uid.uid = 0
    _uid.uid += 1
    return (_uid.tid, _uid.uid)

它是线程安全的,使用元组可能有益而不是字符串(如果有的话更短)。如果您不需要线程安全,请随意删除线程位(而不是 threading.local ,使用 object()并完全删除 tid )。

希望有所帮助。

答案 8 :(得分:-6)

import time
def new_id():
    time.sleep(0.000001)
    return time.time()

在我的系统上,time.time()似乎在小数点后提供6位有效数字。在短暂的睡眠中,应该保证唯一,在最后两位或三位数内至少有适量的随机性。

如果你担心,你也可以哈希。
