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

[Antoine Pitrou]

Antoine Pitrou <pitrou at free.fr> added the comment:

Thanks for posting a patch! I have two comments:
- Have you run test_uuid? When I run it, it seems to go into an infinite loop somewhere and I need to kill the process.
- uuid should work even when ctypes is not available, so you can't just put an import statement at the top-level without a fallback
