is GUID a certain UUID?

[Halsey1945]

Hello everyone,

I was wondering if GUIDs were some type of uuid. I am currently building a program that would allow people to enter function information and get out a valid LUA function to use in the script editor or from a file. And I was wondering if I could generate a unique GUID at the user's request and check if a given GUID is a valid GUID. I am using python if that matters.
