Understood.
What I have learned.
Although the types are quite different, they are both 16 bytes.
Starting with AIX 6.1, libc includes uuid_create(&uuid, &status)
which fills "uuid" with a uuid.uuid1() like result.
After calling uuid_to_string( &uuid, &uuid_string, &status); the result:
"13d866fa-e6f1-11e7-8017-fad18cf76204"
Further reading of the documentation within """ and """ in Lib/uuid.py helps me
realize that the AIX approach aligns with the UUID fields description:
fields a tuple of the six integer fields of the UUID,
which are also available as six individual attributes
and two derived attributes:
time_low the first 32 bits of the UUID
time_mid the next 16 bits of the UUID
time_hi_version the next 16 bits of the UUID
clock_seq_hi_variant the next 8 bits of the UUID
clock_seq_low the next 8 bits of the UUID
node the last 48 bits of the UUID
So - with this: there is also more than can be done for AIX re:

More to come...
