-----snip snip-----
from uuid import UUID
import ctypes
import ctypes.util
lib = ctypes.CDLL(ctypes.util.find_library('uuid'))
_ugts = lib.uuid_generate_time_safe
_buffer = ctypes.create_string_buffer(16)
retval = _ugts(_buffer)
# Remember, this is C!
is_safe = (retval == 0)
print('{} is safe? {}'.format(UUID(bytes=_buffer.raw), is_safe))

xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx is safe? True
