Python UUID implementation using Rust's UUID library.
This will make `uuid4` function around 10x faster.

This package can be a drop-in replacement to the standard library UUID.

Avaialble UUID versions:

- `uuid1` - Version 1 UUIDs using a timestamp and monotonic counter.
- `uuid3` - Version 3 UUIDs based on the MD5 hash of some data.
- `uuid4` - Version 4 UUIDs with random data.
- `uuid5` - Version 5 UUIDs based on the SHA1 hash of some data.
- `uuid6` - Version 6 UUIDs using a timestamp and monotonic counter.
- `uuid7` - Version 7 UUIDs using a Unix timestamp ordered by time.
- `uuid8` - Version 8 UUIDs using user-defined data.

## Installation
Using `pip`:
```shell
$ pip install uuid-utils
```
or, using `conda`:

```shell
$ conda install -c conda-forge uuid-utils
```

## Example

```shell
>>> import uuid_utils as uuid

>>> # make a random UUID
>>> uuid.uuid4()
UUID('ffe95fcc-b818-4aca-a350-e0a35b9de6ec')

>>> # make a random UUID using a Unix timestamp which is time-ordered.
>>> uuid.uuid7()
UUID('018afa4a-0d21-7e6c-b857-012bc678552b')

>>> # make a UUID using a SHA-1 hash of a namespace UUID and a name
>>> uuid.uuid5(uuid.NAMESPACE_DNS, 'python.org')
UUID('886313e1-3b8a-5372-9b90-0c9aee199e5d')

>>> # make a UUID using an MD5 hash of a namespace UUID and a name
>>> uuid.uuid3(uuid.NAMESPACE_DNS, 'python.org')
UUID('6fa459ea-ee8a-3ca4-894e-db77e160355e')
```

## Compatibility

In some cases, for example if you are using `Django`, you might need `UUID` instances to be returned
from the standrad-library `uuid`, not a custom `UUID` class.
In that case you can use the `uuid_utils.compat` which comes with a performance penalty
in comparison with the `uuid_utils` default behaviour, but is still faster than the standard-library.

```py
>>> import uuid_utils.compat as uuid

>>> # make a random UUID
>>> uuid.uuid4()
UUID('ffe95fcc-b818-4aca-a350-e0a35b9de6ec')
```

^{Benchmark results might vary in different environments, but in most cases the uuid_utils should outperform stdlib uuid.}<br>
