Python Utility Functions for Random String, JSON Conversion, Time, Pattern Matching, and Hashing

This function defines a series of small functionalities, including generating a random string, converting to JSON, getting the current time, checking if a string contains a specific pattern, getting the path of the current script, and calculating the hash of a string.
