There's one in the cobbler source code (which was pulled from xen).
Something like this perhaps:
$ cat /tmp/genmac.py
#!/usr/bin/python
import random
def generate_random_mac():
"""
Generate a random MAC address.
from xend/server/netif.py
Generate a random MAC address.
Uses OUI 00-16-3E, allocated to
Xensource, Inc. Last 3 fields are random.
return: MAC address string
"""
mac = [ 0x00, 0x16, 0x3e,
random.randint(0x00, 0x7f),
random.randint(0x00, 0xff),
random.randint(0x00, 0xff) ]
mac = ':'.join(map(lambda x: "%02x" % x, mac))
return mac
print generate_random_mac()
