What if you could combine the magical fun of emojis and the unique uniqueness power of UUIDs.
What if you had a format to label objects, so powerful and elegant, that you enjoy sending those over your favorite messenger.
What if you had a small python package, providing you all of that and much more.
Welcome to IDoji.
Installation can be done via pip
pip3 install idoji
IDoji can be used as a superior alternative to UUIDs. Common functionality provided by UUIDs can be found in IDojis, as well as facilities to mix both types or convert between them.
It is possible to instantiate a completely random IDoji as well as using values
of the type str
, int
or even UUID
.
>>> from idoji import IDoji
>>> idoj = IDoji()
>>> print(idoj)

It is also possible to use existing UUIDs in several forms.
>>> from uuid import uuid4
>>> uuidval = uuid4()
>>> print(uuidval)
e4f4d80c-01f4-4504-b18b-6061bb619aa3
>>> idoj_from_uuid = IDoji(uuidval)
>>> print(idoj_from_uuid)
🦳🧃🦧😌-😁🧃-🙅😄-🦀🥙-🤜🤝-🦊🤝🥨🥱
>>> repr(idoj_from_uuid)
"IDoji('e4f4d80c-01f4-4504-b18b-6061bb619aa3')"
>>> idoj_from_uuid_str = IDoji("e4f4d80c-01f4-4504-b18b-6061bb619aa3")
>>> print(idoj_from_uuid_str)
🦳🧃🦧😌-😁🧃-🙅😄-🦀🥙-🤜🤝-🦊🤝🥨🥱
And of course, if you get an IDoji string from somewhere, you can use that to instantiate an object as well.
>>> idoj = IDoji("🦳🧃🦧😌-😁🧃-🙅😄-🦀🥙-🤜🤝-🦊🤝🥨🥱")
>>> print(idoj)
🦳🧃🦧😌-😁🧃-🙅😄-🦀🥙-🤜🤝-🦊🤝🥨🥱
>>> repr(idoj)
"IDoji('e4f4d80c-01f4-4504-b18b-6061bb619aa3')"
IDojis can be compared against each other as well as UUIDs.
Comparison against IDoji objects as well as their string representation is available.
>>> idoj = IDoji()
>>> idoj_same = IDoji(idoj.uuid)
>>> idoj_diff = IDoji()
>>> print("{} -- {} -- {}".format(idoj, idoj_same, idoj_diff))

>>> idoj == idoj_same
True
>>> idoj == idoj_diff
False
>>> idoj == "🤪🦞🤳🥔-🦏🥎-🙄🦣-🦌😶-😨😯-🦹🦣😄🥞"
True
>>> idoj == "🦪🤜🦒🦵-🤏🧃-🙋🥓-🥟🥧-🦁🦹-🥪😎🧡🦗"
False
Also comparison against UUIDs and their string representation is possible as well.
>>> uuidval = uuid4()
>>> print(uuidval)
627adf41-739a-4b5a-b727-d8add4124884
>>> idoj_from_uuid = IDoji(uuidval)
>>> idoj_from_uuid == uuidval
True
>>> idoj_from_uuid == "627adf41-739a-4b5a-b727-d8add4124884"
True
