Help building app using Index Integer Date format IID

PyPI: IID42

PyPi: https://pypi.org/project/iid42

IID, short for Index Integer Date, is a 4/8/12/16-byte format designed for seamless communication across various network systems, including UDP, WebSocket, and Mirror.

By standardizing the code and API to work exclusively with integer values:

• It enables the creation of action index tables.
• It supports the development of specialized tools for specific tasks, allowing IID to facilitate remote actions effectively.

The IID format was developed to streamline QA testing across multiple devices and computers with precise timing coordination.

Key Features of IID:

1. Index on your own server: Identifies the target device.
2. Index on a shared server: Identifies the user.
3. Value: Represents the transported integer value.
4. Date: Encoded in a specific ulong format:
   • 01.....TICK: Sent using NTP time.
   • 02.....TICK: Intended for execution at a designated NTP time.
   • .......TICK: Sent from an unknown source time but uses DateTime.Now in UTC since 1970.

If you need assistance or are interested in contributing to this project, feel free to reach out.
Since 2024, all my tools have been built around this principle.

Creating a Python Package

Tutorial:

• https://youtu.be/9Ii34WheBOA?t=457

This is my first Python package. Here’s how to build one.

Steps to Create a Pip Package:

1. Install or upgrade the build tool:

   pip install --upgrade build
   

2. Navigate to your project’s root directory:

   cd "GIT_PROJECT_ROOT"
   

3. Build the package:

   python -m build
   

4. A .whl file will be created. You can install it using pip:

   pip install iid-2025.1.8-py3-none-any.whl
   

Example Workflow:

python -m build
pip uninstall iid -y
python -m build
pip install dist/iid42-2025.1.8-py3-none-any.whl
python

Example Usage:

import iid
iid.say_hello()

pip install --upgrade twine
python -m twine upload dist/*

Use https://test.pypi.org for training.
