py311-uuid7

UUID version 7, which are time-sortable

This module implements the version 7 UUIDs, proposed by Peabody and Davis in https://www.ietf.org/id/draft-peabody-dispatch-new-uuid-format-02.html as an extension to RFC4122. Version 7 has the nice characteristic that the start of a UUID encodes the time with a chronological sort order and potentially ~50ns time resolution, while the end of the UUID includes sufficient random bits to ensure consecutive UUIDs will remain unique.
