Comment (by anonymous):
I vote++ on this.
In 2012 it is definitely worth considering adding UUID as a field type in
the core Django codebase. Many of the Django DB backends now support UUID
as a real type (read: 1st rate, optimized, indexed >> the PG 128bit field
is a backend implementation example).
I know it is easy to implement or pull in from django_extensions but,
seriously, UUIDs are not just CharFields in some of these backends. Isn't
it time that django seriously considers growing up with the DBMS that it
supports?
Thanks!
