FYI: - On AIX, no uuid_create support:

./python -m unittest -v test.test_uuid
...
Ran 48 tests in 0.261s

OK (skipped=37)

On AIX 6.1 (with ctypes, without _uuid)

./python -m unittest -v test.test_uuid
...
Ran 48 tests in 0.274s

OK (skipped=32)

On AIX 6.1 (with ctypes, with _uuid)

./python -m unittest -v test.test_uuid
