Module uuid 

Available on crate feature uuid only.

Conversions to and from uuid’s Uuid and NonNilUuid types.

This is useful for converting Python’s uuid.UUID into and from a native Rust type.

Setup

To use this feature, add to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
pyo3 = { version = "0.28.3", features = ["uuid"] }
uuid = "1.11.0"

Note that you must use a compatible version of uuid and PyO3. The required uuid version may vary based on the version of PyO3.

Example

Rust code to create a function that parses a UUID string and returns it as a Uuid:

use pyo3::prelude::*;
use pyo3::exceptions::PyValueError;
use uuid::Uuid;

/// Parse a UUID from a string.
#[pyfunction]
fn get_uuid_from_str(s: &str) -> PyResult<Uuid> {
    Uuid::parse_str(s).map_err(|e| PyValueError::new_err(e.to_string()))
}

/// Passing a Python uuid.UUID directly to Rust.
#[pyfunction]
fn get_uuid(u: Uuid) -> Uuid {
    u
}

#[pymodule]
fn my_module(m: &Bound<'_, PyModule>) -> PyResult<()> {
    m.add_function(wrap_pyfunction!(get_uuid_from_str, m)?)?;
    m.add_function(wrap_pyfunction!(get_uuid, m)?)?;
    Ok(())
}

Python code that validates the functionality

from my_module import get_uuid_from_str, get_uuid
import uuid

py_uuid = uuid.uuid4()

# Convert string to Rust Uuid
rust_uuid = get_uuid_from_str(str(py_uuid))
assert py_uuid == rust_uuid

# Pass Python UUID directly to Rust
returned_uuid = get_uuid(py_uuid)
assert py_uuid == returned_uuid
