[Zope] Autogenerate id's

[Peter Bengtsson]

There really isn't one to do that. You'll have to do it yourself.
Search for the ThreadSafeCounter product.
A lot of products use the current date and time to generate a string of the
timestamp.

I for one use this:
import string
def generateRandomMessageId(length=10):
    pool=string.lowercase+string.uppercase
    id=[]
    for i in range(length):
        id.append(pool[randint(0,len(pool)-1)])
    return string.join(id,'')

in one of my products.
