django-uuidfield
There are a few UUID fields floating around out on the interwebs.
Here is one packaged up as a pip installable one. It is mostly based on http://gist.github.com/374662, but has some changes, and will get some unit tests.
Installation
Download or clone the repository, and from inside the root folder:
$ python setup.py install
Or, use pip:
$ pip install -e hg+https://bitbucket.org/schinckel/django-uuidfield#egg=django-uuidfield
Even better, do this from inside your virtualenv.
You are using virtualenv, right?
Django setup
You don't really need to install into your INSTALLED_APPS, but you may want to. I generally put everything in there that I use, just so any tests on it will be run when you test your project.
Then, in your model file:
from django.db import models import uuidfield class MyModel(models.Model): uuid = uuidfield.UUIDField()
Advanced use
The following arguments can be passed to the UUIDField:
- auto - a boolean value as to if values should be generated automatically. These values are created using uuid.uuid4().
Changes
- 0.6.5: Remove the creation of a "default" in a south migration when it has been set.
- See http://south.aeracode.org/ticket/295#comment:8
0.6.4: Raise a ValidationError on a badly formed UUID string, rather than ValueError, in UUIDField.clean.
0.6.1: Treat the deprecation warning from django 1.3+
