slugid

slugid is a Python library (version 2.0.0, released 2019) for generating URL-safe Base64 encoded UUID v4 slugs. These 22-character slugs are compact and can be easily embedded in URLs, command-line parameters, or used as identifiers in various systems. It provides methods for generating standard v4 slugs and 'nice' slugs which always start with an alphanumeric character. The library is currently in maintenance mode with its GitHub repository archived, meaning it's no longer actively developed but remains functional.
