UUID as default value in Django model

Question

I\'ve noticed the strange behaviour of default value in django model. For example we have a simple django model:

import uuid
...

class SiteUser(models.Model):

As of Django 1.8, there is a new UUIDField available. It's described in the following link which also covers how to set defaults:
