Python>=3.6 has
secrets.token_urlsafe
that can create cryptographically safe strings/numbers. So we don't need to use shortuuid. The generated text string is of the same size asshortuuid.uuid()
, but can contain underscore and hyphen characters (not just alpha-numeric values), which might make it less human-readable. But I am not sure if it's worth it to use a third-party library (which can be gradually removed).token_urlsafe
is also 4x faster thanshortuuid.uuid()
.
