These are time-based UUID variants that improve on random schemes by providing sortable, timestamp-ordered identifiers suitable for databases and distributed systems. The package is a thin wrapper requiring no external dependencies.\n\nUUID v7 embeds a Unix timestamp, making generated IDs naturally sortable by creation time. UUID v6 reorders fields for the same sortability benefit. Both are useful when you need unique identifiers that also serve as temporal markers without requiring a separate timestamp column or index.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need UUID v7 or v6 and are on Python 3.10+. The package is lightweight, dependency-free, and solves a real problem. However, verify the license before use in proprietary code, and note that the package is dormant\u2014no updates are expected. Check whether your target Python version has native support before committing to an external dependency."},"id":"uuid-v7","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/uuid-v7","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/uuid-v7.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/uuid-v7/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-02-15","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"unclear","name":"uuid-v7","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"UUID v6 and v7 for Python 3.10+."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":92203,"position":13468,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.0.0"}
