Oh cool, Python 3.12 now lets you call the uuid module as a CLI script to quickly generate UUID's 🤯🐍

$> python -m uuid<br></br>bd24079f-52d6-4777-8301-3341e21140ca<br></br>$> python -m uuid -u uuid3 -n @url -N blah<br></br>595259d0-5f26-31a4-8574-6857a5e58e55<br></br>

@iamkale This came up today, my colleague needed a one-off UUID and asked about the import, but I ran the python -m uuid CLI instead! 👍

@hugovk @iamkale @simon has an interesting post about some of these CLI gems in the standard library: https://til.simonwillison.net/python/stdlib-cli-tools

@iamkale I always liked being able to launch a local HTTP server via CLI and Python

iamkale, 8 months ago

@urda Good ol' python3 -m http.server

@iamkale fun fact: AWS internally scans Amazon and sent me a “don’t do that” InfoSec email once when I left one of those running for a week.

@iamkale $> python -m <module_name> isn't new, is it?

iamkale, 8 months ago

@dichotomiker I'm highlighting new things you can do with that that weren't possible before 3.12
