New submission from mael arnaud <mael.arn...@gmail.com>:
The docs stipulates:
UUID.version
The UUID version number (1 through 5, meaningful only when the variant is
RFC_4122).
But you can absolutely do:
>>> uuid.UUID("25cdb2ef-3764-bb01-9b17-433defc74464")
which yields:
>>> uuid.UUID("25cdb2ef-3764-bb01-9b17-433defc74464").variant
'specified in RFC 4122'
>>> uuid.UUID("25cdb2ef-3764-bb01-9b17-433defc74464").version
11
Since versions above 5 are not defined in the RFC 4122, is it relevant to allow
such UUIDs to exist?
Every other tool on the internet seem to reject them (but I guess they are
regex based). At the very least, maybe the docs should mention something about
it, since I'm not sure anyone expects a UUID to be valid and have a version
above 5?
