Svix - Webhooks as a service
Svix-KSUID
This library is inspired by Segment's KSUID implementation: https://github.com/segmentio/ksuid
What is a ksuid?
A ksuid is a K sorted UID. In other words, a KSUID also stores a date component, so that ksuids can be approximately sorted based on the time they were created.

Usage
pip install svix-ksuid
from ksuid import Ksuid
ksuid = Ksuid()
Higher timestamp accuracy mode
Ksuids have a 1 second accuracy which is not sufficient for all use-cases. That's why this library exposes a higher accuracy mode which supports accuracy of up to 4ms.
It's fully compatible with normal ksuids, in fact, it outputs valid ksuids. The difference is that it sacrifices one byte of the random payload in favor of this accuracy.
The code too is fully compatible:
pip install svix-ksuid
from ksuid import KsuidMs
ksuid = KsuidMs()
Examples
Default ksuid
Generate a ksuid without passing a specific datetime
In [1]: from ksuid import Ksuid
In [2]: ksuid = Ksuid()
In [3]: f"Base62: {ksuid}"
Out[3]: 'Base62: 1srOrx2ZWZBpBUvZwXKQmoEYga2'
In [4]: f"Bytes: {bytes(ksuid)}"
Out[4]: "Bytes: b'\\r5\\xc43\\xe1\\x93>7\\xf2up\\x87c\\xad\\xc7tZ\\xf5\\xe7\\xf2'"
In [5]: f"Datetime: {ksuid.datetime}"
Out[5]: 'Datetime: 2021-05-21 14:04:03'
In [6]: f"Timestamp: {ksuid.timestamp}"
Out[6]: 'Timestamp: 1621627443'
In [7]: f"Payload: {ksuid.payload}"
Out[7]: "Payload: b'\\xe1\\x93>7\\xf2up\\x87c\\xad\\xc7tZ\\xf5\\xe7\\xf2'"
ksuid from datetime
In [1]: datetime = datetime(year=2021, month=5, day=19, hour=1, minute=1, second=1, microsecond=1)
In [2]: datetime
Out[2]: datetime.datetime(2021, 5, 19, 1, 1, 1, 1)
In [3]: ksuid = Ksuid(datetime)
In [4]: ksuid.datetime
Out[4]: datetime.datetime(2021, 5, 19, 1, 1, 1)
In [5]: ksuid.timestamp
Out[5]: 1621407661
ksuid from base62
In [1]: ksuid = Ksuid()
In [2]: ksuid.timestamp
Out[2]: 1621634852
In [3]: f"Base62: {ksuid}"
Out[3]: 'Base62: 1srdszO8Xy2cR6CnARnvxCfRmK4'
In [4]: ksuid_from_base62 = Ksuid.from_base62("1srdszO8Xy2cR6CnARnvxCfRmK4")
In [5]: ksuid_from_base62.timestamp
Out[5]: 1621634852
ksuid from bytes
In [1]: ksuid = Ksuid()
In [2]: ksuid_from_bytes = ksuid.from_bytes(bytes(ksuid))
In [3]: f"ksuid: {ksuid}, ksuid_from_bytes: {ksuid_from_bytes}"
Out[3]: 'ksuid: 1sreAHoz6myPhXghsOdVBoec3Vr, ksuid_from_bytes: 1sreAHoz6myPhXghsOdVBoec3Vr'
In [4]: ksuid == ksuid_from_bytes
Out[4]: True
Compare ksuid(s)
In [1]: ksuid_1 = Ksuid()
In [2]: ksuid_2 = Ksuid.from_bytes(bytes(ksuid_1))
In [3]: f"ksuid_1: {ksuid_1}, ksuid_2: {ksuid_2}"
Out[3]: 'ksuid_1: 1sreAHoz6myPhXghsOdVBoec3Vr, ksuid_2: 1sreAHoz6myPhXghsOdVBoec3Vr'
In [4]: ksuid_1 == ksuid_2
Out[4]: True
In [5]: ksuid_1
Out[5]: 1tM9eRSTrHIrrH5SMEW24rtvIOF
In [6]: ksuid_2
Out[6]: 1tM9eRSTrHIrrH5SMEW24rtvIOF
Order of ksuid(s)
In [1]: ksuid_1 = Ksuid()
In [2]: ksuid_1.timestamp
Out[2]: 1621963256
In [3]: ksuid_2 = Ksuid()
In [4]: ksuid_2.timestamp
Out[4]: 1621963266
In [5]: ksuid_1 < ksuid_2
Out[5]: True
In [6]: ksuid_1 <= ksuid_2
Out[6]: True
In [7]: ksuid_1 >= ksuid_2
Out[7]: False
In [8]: ksuid_1 > ksuid_2
Out[8]: False
