Python Create UUID from integer
Mon 06 February 2023Code:
import uuid
my_uuid = uuid.UUID(int=1)
print(my_uuid)
That should show the following string:
00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001
You can also convert back to integer by doing:
my_uuid.int()
For my use case this was needed because my source database has integer based IDs, however the destination database was using UUID based IDs. So converting from integer to UUID was helpful to ensure data can easily be deduplicated.
