I'm using Python 3.8.5 on a 2016 MacBook Pro running macOS Catalina 10.15.3.  This model has a touch bar and macOS communicates with the touch bar via a dedicated "iBridge" network interface.  The iBridge network interface uses a fixed MAC address that is common across all MacBook Pro models (ac:de:48:00:11:22).

Normally uuid.uuid1() picks up my WiFi MAC address (which is obviously unique), but this evening I noticed it was generating UUIDs based on the iBridge MAC address.  Since the iBridge MAC is shared across all MacBook Pro laptops, there's no way to guarantee that the UUIDs are now universally unique.  I'm not sure what triggered uuid.uuid1() to start using my iBridge interface although there was an Internet outage here at some point so maybe the network interfaces got reordered.  The iBridge interface (en5) does appear before my WiFi interface (en0) in the output of ifconfig now.

Here's a quick example of the problem:

greent7@avocado:~$ python3
Python 3.8.5 (default, Jul 21 2020, 10:48:26)
[Clang 11.0.3 (clang-1103.0.32.62)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import uuid
>>> uuid.uuid1()
UUID('32bbad32-de12-11ea-a0ee-acde48001122')

And here's the output from ifconfig:
