Hi Goluptious,


There's a quick and dirty UUID generator in the Python Cookbook:

    http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/213761

That snippet does not generate ISO-11578-standard UUID's, but it should
still be useful.  There's also a a nice blog article that talks about UUID
issues here:
