To put it simply:
I want a hexavigesimal of length n where each element contains at
least one letter {A, B, ..., P} and one number {0, 1, 2, ... }.
(unless n is less than 2, in which case only one of those constraints
need to be met)
and I want addition only for incrementing the element.
Why do I want all this I hear you ask? - For use as a
unique-identifier. I want a unique-ID of size 3. (3 positions, i.e.
P0A)
Any suggestions on how to implement this in python would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Alec Taylor
