how can I call graph.getIDManager() in Python

[lesleyDeng]

The graph object is imported from gremlin_python.structure.graph import Graph (according to https://docs.janusgraph.org/basics/connecting/python/), and it does not have a getIDManager method.

I need the IDManager to perform addV('label').property(T.id, graph.getIDManager().toVertexId(customized_id)) and to execute graph.getIDManager().fromVertexId(vertex_id) after querying. As the implementation of toVertexId() returns id << (partitionBits + USERVERTEX_PADDING_BITWIDTH), I find an alternative solution that is to call addV('label').property(T.id, customized_id << 8) in Python. What potential impacts might there be?

If you are using gremlin python library, you don't have getIDManager method. An alternative solution is to use https://docs.janusgraph.org/advanced-topics/custom-vertex-id/#custom-string-id

I think that should work too.
