DSM <dsm...@users.sourceforge.net> added the comment: Hmm. I quickly wrote my own implementation and I agree with the uuid module and disagree with the RFC value.
Further searching suggests that this may be an error in the RFC. See http://www.rfc-editor.org/errata_search.php?rfc=4122 ; see also http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=5064537 for a specific explanation of what probably caused the bug in the reference code. I can reproduce the RFC value by (IMO incorrectly) flipping the namespace endianness. (It may be worth noting, though, that one of the links above points to the python implementation for support-- so there could be a vicious circle here. :^) ---------- nosy: +dsm001 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5415> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
