uid Description

Open source Python based used for generation of simulated unique IDs based on the local environment uid is an implementation of a "unique" ID generator in Python. The implementation does not follow UUID or GUID standards, but rather uses available system, host, user, shell environment, process, and other ephemeral information fed into a hasher (by default MD5) to generate the ID.The system is designed to be used both as a standalone application and as a module. The data used to be fed into the hash, as well as the hashing mechanism itself, can be overridden both through the command line and programmatically by importing the module. Requirements: · Python 2.0 or later What's New in This Release: · Use pwd and grp modules to get password and group data instead of calling os.getlogin, which won't work for fake users who are not logged in (like nobody).
