Python Automation — Build a Program that makes Unique Identifiers

How do i build my own uuid generator? In this video, we will build a unique identifier generator to simplify the process for creating unique identifiers. We are building a program that will ask you the question “how many IDs do you want?” and the will create a file on the desktop that is populated with the number of IDs you asked for — we are automating this process!!!

Nice video. How about using fingerprinting the contents of the file as an ID by using md5 from hashlib, for example? This might save us from doing redundant operatings on files that didn't change since the last time we did our batch processing. Cheers.
