I’m using django for a web-magazine with subscriber-content. when a user purchases a subscription, the site will create a validation key, and send it to the user email address.
The validation key would be added to a list of “valid keys” until it is used.
What is the best method for creating a simple yet unique key? Can someone suggest a standard python library for key-creation/validation/ect?
This might be a very simple question, but I’m very new. 😉
As other posters mentioned, you are looking for a GUID, of which the most popular implemntation UUID (see here) . Django extensions (see here) offer a UUID field just for this purpose.
