I recall a few cycles ago having str(uuid.uuid4()) replaced by generate_uuid(). There was actually a helper function in neutron (back when it was called quantum) and it was replaced. So now we are going back… I am not in favor of this change.

The first step into this change should be to remove generate_uuid() from uuidutils. The reason is that 1) generating the UUID string seems trivial enough to not need a function and 2) string representation of uuid4 is not what we want in all projects. To address this, a patch is now on gerrit. https://review.openstack.org/#/c/56152/<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v1/url?u=https://review.openstack.org/%23/c/56152/&k=oIvRg1%2BdGAgOoM1BIlLLqw%3D%3D%0A&r=eH0pxTUZo8NPZyF6hgoMQu%2BfDtysg45MkPhCZFxPEq8%3D%0A&m=3ns0o3FRyS2%2Fg%2FTFIH7waZX1o%2FHdXvrJ%2FnH9XMCRy08%3D%0A&s=adb860d11d1ad02718e306b9408c603daa00970685a208db375a9ec011f13978> Each project should directly use the standard uuid module or implement its own helper function to generate uuids if this patch gets in. Any thoughts on this change? Thanks. -- Intel SSG/STO/DCST/CIT 880 Zixing Road, Zizhu Science Park, Minhang District, 200241, Shanghai, China +862161166500
