The random number & time (unix time stamp or epoch) based method of generating the UUID is already there in uuid.py module, with this patch request enabled this path to take effect for UEFI invocation of this module. There are some OS specific ways to generate the UUID's such as by using the libuuid on Linux kind of OS, windll.rpcrt4 library on windows. These will not work for UEFI and hence added appropriate platform check to ensure that this path is not taken for UEFI invocation. Besides this there are MAC address based algorithms available in uuid.py module. These algorism are based on reading MAC address through various OS supported methods such as ipconfig command processing, NetBIOS calls on Windows, using netstat command in Linux, lanscan in Unix, from arp - address resolution protocol in Linux, NetBSD and other flavours of Linux. These are currently not enabled for UEFI invocation of the uuid module. This has been done through platform check added at appropriate place in the uuid.py module code.
