To simplify and speed up handling UIDs the package provides a fast constructor for building universal ID strings (UIDs). These strings are normal Python strings using a special predefined format.
The information encoded in the UID includes a timestamp, the process ID, a host ID, an optional ID code (up to 100 characters) and a CRC value to assure the integrity of the UID. This makes the UIDs unique with a high probability.
UID strings have a length of (32 + len(code)) bytes. If no code is used, their length will always be 32 bytes.
Since UID strings are really only Python strings, they behave in the same way, i.e. offer the same methods.
