It works as a decorator on test functions or as a context manager, allowing you to control exactly what UUIDs are generated during test execution. This eliminates randomness in tests that depend on UUID generation, making them deterministic and reproducible.\n\nThe package supports single fixed UUIDs, default zero-filled UUIDs, lists of sequential UUIDs, and async test functions. It mocks the underlying uuid.UUID class, so it works with any library that generates UUIDs through the standard module. With zero runtime dependencies and a pure-Python wheel, it installs with minimal friction.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you write tests for code that generates UUIDs and need deterministic behavior. The package is lightweight, has no dependencies, and solves a real testing problem. However, maintenance is dormant, so it will not receive bug fixes or updates\u2014acceptable for a stable, narrow-scope utility but worth noting if you need ongoing support."},"id":"freeze-uuid","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/freeze-uuid","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/freeze-uuid.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/freeze-uuid/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-05-04","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"freeze-uuid","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Python package for mocking uuid."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":106021,"position":12671,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.4.3"}
