Sorry last my eye on this ticket... The patch uses Python 2.5's uuid
module if available otherwise is looks for the uuid.py module in
django.utils.
(somewhere i hope django officially takes this up into it's distribution
:) )
In the mean time people using python 2.3 or 2.4 (like i am, my mod_python
py version is 2.4) can copy the file from the standaard Python 2.5
distribution.
The py2.5 uuid.py is not 2.5 specific it's only included for the first
time in py2.5.
For clarity i also attached uuid.py to this ticket. Copy uuid.py to
/path/to/django-trunk/django/utils or where ever your django framework is
located and it should work.
