python-snowflake-2
Based on falcondai and fenhl's Python snowflake tool, but with documentation and simliarities to Discord.
Docs
make_snowflake
This is a function to generate a snowflake.
This function does not return an integer snowflake - it returns a string.
Paramters are listed below.
Here's an example if you want to look at it after reading the below docs:
make_snowflake(time.time(), 0, 0, 0)
timestamp_ms
This is an epoch time paramter. You can get one by running time.time().
Basically, an oversimplified description of the way a snowflake works is by looking at a "twepoch", then subtracting a normal epoch from it (but there are other factors in it, as detailed in the rest of this documentation). That is why you need a timestamp_ms.
Note that the default twepoch is 1639853814 here, but Twitter's is 1288834974657
Discord has some information on this as well. 
worker_id
This can be used internally to keep track of the worker for each snowflake, inspired by Discord's snowflake system.
process_id
This can be used internally to keep track of the process for each snowflake, inspired by Discord's snowflake system.
Discord's documentation shown in worker_id also applies here.
increment_id
This can be used to keep track of 12-bit increments for every generated ID on the aforementioned process.
snowflakeToTime
Converts a snowflake to a Python datetime.
Takes a snowflake ID argument only and converts it to a datetime.
Example:
snowflakeToTime(make_snowflake(time.time(), 0, 0, 0))
