I thought python's uuid.uuid4 guaranteed a unique value. Am I missing something? Mark >From a practical perspective, you are correct, uuid.uuid4() will create a unique value every time. There is no guarantee, though, as eventually you'll run out of values with enough iterations. You probably have a better chance of being struck by lightning 6 times in a row, though, before you get a UUID4 collision. However, the OP is generating a 7 digit integer, meaning that UUID4 is out. -James -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
