Quite a few people have expressed interest in having UUID functionality in the standard library, and previously on this list some suggested possibly using the uuid.py module i wrote:
Some comments on the code:
for dir in ['', r'c:\windows\system32', r'c:\winnt\system32']:
Can we get rid of these absolute paths? Something like this should suffice:
from ctypes import * buf = create_string_buffer(4096) windll.kernel32.GetSystemDirectoryA(buf, 4096) 17 buf.value.decode("mbcs") u'C:\\WINNT\\system32'
for function in functions: try: _node = function() except: continue
This also hides typos and whatnot. I guess it's better if each function catches its own exceptions, and either return None or raise a common exception (like a class _GetNodeError(RuntimeError)) which is then caught. Giovanni Bajo
