Snakeflake

Snakeflake is a discrete nonserial ID generator like Snowflake and Sonyflake, implemented in Python.

"Discrete" and "nonserial" are real words. I promise.

Usage

>>> import datetime
>>> from snakeflake.snakeflake import SnakeflakeGenerator
>>> from snakeflake.config import SnakeflakeGeneratorConfig
>>> 
>>> # Set the epoch to 5:30, 28 March 2010 and the machine ID to 283
>>> config = SnakeflakeGeneratorConfig(datetime.datetime(2010, 3, 28, 5, 30), 283)
>>> # Create the Snakeflake Generator
>>> sf = SnakeflakeGenerator(config)
>>> # Generate some Snakeflake IDs
>>> sf.next_id()
526063632593715483
>>> sf.next_id()
526063667423281435
>>> # Not specifying a Machine ID will generate one from your internal IP address 
>>> config = SnakeflakeGeneratorConfig(datetime.datetime(2010, 3, 28, 5, 30), None)
>>> config.machine_id
1

Installation

You can install Snakeflake using pip:

pip install snakeflake

Documentation

View the documentation here.

To do:

• Better Documentation
• Add tests(!!!)
• Add a snakeflake decoder
• Publish (🎉🎉🎉)
• Add an icon
• Add a better icon
• Accept a function as a parameter to get the current machine id
• Accept a function as a parameter to check the uniqueness of the machine id
• Async support (if I decide to do the above)
