synopsis: UUID objects (universally unique identifiers) according to RFC 9562
This module provides immutable UUID objects (the UUID class) and functions for generating UUIDs corresponding to a specific UUID version as specified in 9562 (which supersedes 4122), for example, uuid1 for UUID version 1, uuid3 for UUID version 3, and so on. Note that UUID version 2 is deliberately omitted as it is outside the scope of the RFC.
If all you want is a unique ID, you should probably call uuid1 or uuid4. Note that uuid1 may compromise privacy since it creates a UUID containing the computer's network address. uuid4 creates a random UUID.
Depending on support from the underlying platform, uuid1 may or may not return a "safe" UUID. A safe UUID is one which is generated using synchronization methods that ensure no two processes can obtain the same UUID. All instances of UUID have an ~UUID.is_safe att
