Note, you may not want to set default=uuid.uuid4() -- that will set the default to a single fixed uuid value for the entire request, so if multiple records are inserted during the request, they will all get the same uuid. Instead, you can do default=uuid.uuid4 or default=lambda: uuid.uuid4() -- in those cases, the default is a callable rather than a fixed value, and the callable will be called separately for each record inserted, thereby generating a new value for each record.
