Python generates UUID

The globally unique identifier (guid,globally unique Identifier) is also known as the UUID (universally unique Identifier).

There are UUID libraries in Python that can generate different types of UUID:

Import uuiduuid.uuid1 ()

The result is:

UUID ('f6922dc0-0c45-11e5-a62e-b8763facf5a5')

There are also UUID2,UUID3,UUID4,UUID5, but there is no uuid2 in Python.
