People ask for UIDs pretty often. It's a bit tricky to do right. It must be high bandwidth, guaranteed correct, resistant to DOS attacks, and unlikely to make the ZODB grow wildly. It would be good to have a solid Zope-Seal-of-Approval solution in the box.
FYI: Zope3 will provide a way to get RUIDs (Registry Unique IDs) that will remain constant regardless of renaming the object, moving it to a different folder, etc. This is part of the plan for allowing the creation of reliable relationships between objects. http://www.zope.org//Wikis/DevSite/Proposals/ObjectHub -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com "Welcome to Muppet Labs, where the future is made - today!"
