I often need to generate a GUID quickly and from the command line.

Rather than install additional utilities to accomplish this on various platforms, it would be amazing if Python had this functionality built-in.

I specifically avoided using any additional modules such as argparse to handle the few arguments that uuid3 and uuid5 have to keep the functionality lightweight, instead relying on sys.argv to capture the additional arguments from the CLI.

Looking forward to hearing others' thoughts on this functionality.

I don't think we need an example in a news entry. I would do way with ex > python -m uuid .

Comment thread Lib/uuid.py

if __name__ == '__main__':
"""
Enables uuid to be called from the command line

I wonder if we can move this logic into a helper method so that we just call the method here? Most libraries seem to follow this e.g Lib/timeit.py
