I was running the test suite and I noticed test_uuid's warning message is still up:
test_uuid WARNING: uuid.getnode is unreliable on many platforms. It is disabled until the code and/or test can be fixed properly. WARNING: uuid._ifconfig_getnode is unreliable on many platforms. It is disabled until the code and/or test can be fixed properly. WARNING: uuid._unixdll_getnode is unreliable on many platforms. It is disabled until the code and/or test can be fixed properly.
The state of uuid has been like this for a while now. Are we going to actively try to fix this, or was uuid a mistake? I guess my real question is how long are we willing to let the code sit in this partial state before we decide the module just is not getting enough attention?
