I don't understand what is the endian of the 'bytes' parameter of the uuid.UUID constructor:
https://docs.python.org/dev/library/uuid.html#uuid.UUID

According to examples, it seems like the endian is big endian, but I'm not sure.

Related issue: bpo-32493.

At least, the UUID.bytes *attribute* is documented as using big endian:
https://docs.python.org/dev/library/uuid.html#uuid.UUID.bytes
