Using uv

uv pip install c_uuid_v7

Example

import c_uuid_v7

print(c_uuid_v7.uuid7())  # 019d1ab2-cfea-71f3-ab07-0bf844ff9149
print(c_uuid_v7.compat.uuid7())  # 019d1ab2-cfea-71f3-ab07-0bf98a94016c

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 c_uuid_v7.compat which comes with a performance penalty in comparison with the c_uuid_v7 default behaviour, but is still faster than the standard-library.

import c_uuid_v7.compat as uuid

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