Assuming that you are running ansible from a linux system you could always 
install uuidgen (part of libuuid). On debian-derived systems this then becomes, 
in ansible-speak (hand-typed - probably will not work as-is :-) ):

- name: install uuid runtime package on local
  local_action: apt pkg=uuid-runtime state=latest

- name: generate a uuid for something
  local_action: shell uuidgen
  register: my_uuid

# later in the play use my_uuid.stdout as a variable

Hope this is helpful.

Cheers,

Andrew
