from threading import Thread
import pythoncom
from uuid import WGIDGEN

def uuid_gen():
    pythoncom.CoInitialize()
    x=WGIDGEN()
    y=x.GenWGID()
    print "UUID IS ", y

Try adding these lines:
  x = y = None
  pythoncom.CoUninitialize()

And this should hopefully stop the problem:

t1 = Thread(target=uuid_gen)
t1.start()

Except that your app will try and exit immediately after starting the new
thread.  Add a "t1.join()" to ensure the thread has finished before the app
terminates.
