---

Requirements

Python 3.9 to 3.14 supported.

Django 4.2 to 6.0 supported.

Installation

Install with pip:

python -m pip install django-uuid47

Then add to your installed apps:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    ...,
    "django_uuid47",
    ...,
]

Next, define the setting UUID47_KEY as a 16 bytes long string for encryption of the UUIDs.

To generate a secret, use the token_bytes() function from the secrets stdlib module in a Python shell:

import secrets

secrets.token_bytes(16)
b"h\xd0\x0c\x9f\xfa\x99\xf75\x89J\x9c\xbe>l\x97\xf5"

Then, in the settings.py:

UUID47_KEY = b"h\xd0\x0c\x9f\xfa\x99\xf75\x89J\x9c\xbe>l\x97\xf5"

Usage

In models, use the django_uuid47.fields.UUID47Field() model field, like a regular model field.

In forms, use the django_uuid47.forms.UUID47Field() form field, like a regular form field.
