python: how to convert a valid uuid from String to UUID?

Question

I receive the data as

   {
        \"name\": \"Unknown\",
        \"parent\": \"Uncategorized\",
        \"uuid\": \"06335e84-2872-4914-8c5d-3ed07d2a2f16\"
             


        

Answer 1

Just pass it to uuid.UUID:

import uuid

o = {
    "name": "Unknown",
    "parent": "Uncategorized",
    "uuid": "06335e84-2872-4914-8c5d-3ed07d2a2f16"
}

print uuid.UUID(o['uuid']).hex
