How to Create a GUID/UUID in Python

Using uuid Module

uuid module provides immutable UUID objects (the UUID class) and the functions uuid1(), uuid3(), uuid4(), uuid5() for generating version 1, 3, 4, and 5 UUIDs as specified in RFC 4122.

See the following example:

#!/usr/bin/python3

# Import module
import uuid

print(uuid.uuid4())

# a 32-character hexadecimal string
print(uuid.uuid4().hex)
