The uuid module uses ctypes to try and load likely system libraries to provide some functionality of the uuid module.

This is a security risk (depending on your sensitivity to DLL hijacking), but it also seems to be not very necessary? It would be nice to remove the ctypes usage from an otherwise (almost) pure Python module.
