[Zope] Autogenerate id's

[Paul Zwarts]

Here's a script my colleague wrote for generating unique ids randomly. Maybe
this will help you: The import line may contain some extra stuff, so check
it because it came from a much larger script file.


Success,
Paz

from whrandom import choice
from string import join, uppercase, digits

def generateTransactionID(self):
    """ Generate a unique 8 character transaction ID.
        Check's uniqueness against another method (database call?)
        transactions.checkTransID """
    genID = lambda len: join(map(lambda i: choice(uppercase + digits),
range(len)), '')
    sTID = genID(8)
    while self.transactions.checkTransID(transactID=sTID):
        sTID = genID(8)
    return sTID

Hello,

I was wondering if any of you had created any scripts in order to create an
auto-generated ID ?

Tried to find it in the archives, but found nothing :-(

Regards,
