Django package to generate random alphanumeric string

>>> from django.utils.crypto import get_random_string
>>> unique_id = get_random_string(length=32)
>>> unique_id
u'rRXVe68NO7m3mHoBS488KdHaqQPD6Ofv'

#You can also vary the set of characters with allowed_chars:

>>> short_genome = get_random_string(length=32, allowed_chars='ACTG')
>>> short_genome
u'CCCAAAAGTACGTCCGGCATTTGTCCACCCCT'

#The uuid module - generate a unique UUID using uuid1 or uuid4, e.g.

>>> import uuid
>>> my_uuid = uuid.uuid4()
>>> my_uuid
UUID('8e6eee95-eae1-4fb4-a436-27f68dbcb6d7')
>>> str(my_uuid)
'8e6eee95-eae1-4fb4-a436-27f68dbcb6d7'

>>> unique_id = '%32x' % random.getrandbits(16*8)
>>> unique_id
'5133d2d79ce518113474d8e9f3702638'
