Python2.7: How i can make countable ID's for each class object

Question

I want to give each employee I create in the Employee class an ID but automatically

Here is the code:

class employees :
    def  __init__(self,first,last,pay):
        self.first_name = first
        self.last_name = last
        self.pay = pay
        self.email = first + '.' + last + '@company.com'
        self.full_name = first + ' '+last
        self.facebook_link = 'FB.com/'+ self.full_name

For future reference, snippets only work for HTML, CSS, or javascript — user3483203, Jun 27 '18 at 21:18
By "countable" what do you mean? The easiest way to do this would be to create a uuid for each — Matthew Story, Jun 27 '18 at 21:19
example : emp_1 have id 1 emp_2 have id 2 emp_33 have id 33 and so on — Mohammed Breky, Jun 27 '18 at 21:20
@MatthewStory i want to give an ID for each employee like in SQL is identity . — Mohammed Breky, Jun 27 '18 at 21:23
class employees : counter = 0 def __init__(self,first,last,pay): self.first_name = first self.last_name = last self.pay = pay self.email = first + '.' + last + '@company.com' self.full_name = first + ' '+last self.facebook_link = 'FB.com/'+ self.full_name self.employee_id = employees.counter + 1 employees.counter += 1 — Joshua Schlichting, Jun 27 '18 at 21:27
Wow, that was ugly - Just place a static counter variable in the class, assign it as the ID, and increment it immediately after assigning the ID within the __init__() function. — Joshua Schlichting, Jun 27 '18 at 21:28

class employees:
    uid = 0
    def  __init__(self,first,last,pay):
        self.first_name = first
        self.last_name = last
        self.pay = pay
        self.email = first + '.' + last + '@company.com'
        self.full_name = first + ' '+last
        self.facebook_link = 'FB.com/'+ self.full_name

        employees.uid += 1
        self.uid = employees.uid

Now when I created by instances and print their uid

emp1 = employees('Abhishek', 'Babuji', 1000)
print(emp1.uid)

Output: 1

emp2 = employees('Abhishek1', 'Babuji1', 10001)
print(emp2.uid)

Output: 2

Every time you go inside __init__ employees.uid gets incremented by 1 and then it is assigned to the instance usingself.uid
