flametrench-ids 0.3.0

Flametrench v0.1 wire-format identifiers for Python: encode, decode, and generate prefixed UUIDv7 IDs.

flametrench-ids

Python SDK for the Flametrench wire-format identifier specification.

Flametrench identifiers are stable, opaque strings of the form {type}_{32-hex}, where the hex payload is a UUIDv7 (so generated IDs sort by creation time). The same identifiers travel unchanged across Node, PHP, Python, and Java SDKs.

from flametrench_ids import generate, decode, is_valid, type_of

generate("usr")
# → 'usr_0190f2a81b3c7abc8123456789abcdef'

decode("usr_0190f2a81b3c7abc8123456789abcdef")
# → DecodedId(type='usr', uuid='0190f2a8-1b3c-7abc-8123-456789abcdef')

is_valid("usr_0190f2a81b3c7abc8123456789abcdef", "usr")  # → True
is_valid("usr_0190f2a81b3c7abc8123456789abcdef", "org")  # → False

type_of("usr_0190f2a81b3c7abc8123456789abcdef")  # → 'usr'

Installation

pip install flametrench-ids

Requires Python 3.11+. UUIDv7 generation uses uuid.uuid7() from the stdlib on Python 3.14+, falling back to the uuid7 package on 3.11–3.13. Both produce identical RFC 9562 v7 layouts; the conformance suite verifies this.

Registered type prefixes

Prefix	Meaning	Spec version
usr	user	v0.1
org	organization	v0.1
mem	membership	v0.1

The registry is normative; see docs/ids.md for the full rules.

Conformance

flametrench-ids runs the same fixture corpus that gates @flametrench/ids (Node) and flametrench/ids (PHP). All 48 MUST-level fixtures from spec/conformance/fixtures/ids/ pass on every release; the test suite vendors the fixtures and compares them to the upstream spec repo via CI.
