Install

Install using pip:

python3 -m pip install py-machineid

Usage

To obtain the raw GUID of the device, use id() -> str:

import machineid

print(machineid.id())

To obtain an anonymized (hashed) version of the GUID, see below. The hashed_id(str) -> str function takes an optional application ID, which will ensure a unique ID per-app for the same device.

import machineid

print(machineid.hashed_id('myappid'))
print(machineid.hashed_id())

Testing

To run tests, invoke unittest:

python3 -m unittest
