[issue11063] uuid.py module import has heavy side effects

Kenny, I don't see a problem with uuid is *imported*, it just creates a couple of STANDARD UUID class objects for use later. And this seems to just set the number and validates it. I don't see any subprocess calls performed. Perhaps you were referring to scenarios of using uuid1/uuid5 methods in mac and suggesting improvements to it by your patch?
