Hi Ka-Ping,
I would like to propose two enhancements for your uuid module in Python 2.5:
1) I've written functions to retrieve the MAC address that do not depend
on running external programs. Please see the attached file.
2) In order to reduce the pickle footprint of UUIDs I would add a
__reduce__ method to class UUID like
def __reduce__(self):
return (uuid, (self.int,))
together with a helper function (at module level) like
def uuid(i):
return UUID(int=i)
Please feel free to use the supplied code.
Cheers
Michael
