Description : Universally unique lexicographically sortable identifier (Python library)
A ULID is a universally unique lexicographically sortable
identifier. It is:
- 128-bit compatible with UUID
- 1.21e+24 unique ULIDs per millisecond
- Lexicographically sortable!
- Canonically encoded as a 26 character string, as opposed to the 36 character UUID
- Uses Crockford's base32 for better efficiency and readability (5 bits per character)
- Case insensitive
- No special characters (URL safe)
----
This is a dependency for the llm package (#1065572). We have another
ULID implementation in Debian (golang-github-oklog-ulid-dev) but it's
not sufficient for the LLM package, which expects the Python library.
This is going to be packaged in the Python team.
