GUID Generation

2008-07-28 Thread Robert Rawlins 
Chaps,

 

I've been looking at the following recipe for generating a GUID
http://code.activestate.com/recipes/163604/ however I note that its about 6
years old. Has python since adopted an internal module for GUID generation?
Or is this 3rd part module still the best option?

 

Cheers,

 

Robert

Not only is the answer, Yes:

http://docs.python.org/lib/module-uuid.html

but it's just featured as Doug Hellmann's module of the Week:
