py-machineid

py-machineid is a Python library designed to retrieve the unique machine ID (UUID/GUID) of any host without requiring administrative privileges. It extracts the operating system's native machine identifier, which is generally stable for a given OS installation. The library also offers a cryptographically hashed version of the ID, useful for application-specific identification. The current version is 1.0.0, and it maintains an active development status, with updates released as needed for bug fixes and feature enhancements.
