Description:

An implementation of a "unique" ID (UID) generator in Python. The
implementation does not follow UUID or GUID standards, but rather uses
available system, host, user, shell environment, process, and other
ephemeral information fed into a hasher (by default MD5) to generate
the UID.

The system is designed to be used both as a standalone application and
as a module. The data used to be fed into the hash, as well as the
hashing mechanism itself, can be overridden both through the command
line and programmatically by importing the module.
