FWIW, I see similar behavior on a 2017 MBP running with 10.15.6 or 11.0 (Big Sur) beta 4. That's ... odd that there is a non-unique MAC address. (Not surprisingly, there is no such problem on an iMac that doesn't have the touchbar subsystem.) That particular interface doesn't show up in the user-visible Network panel of System Preferences so it can't even be easily reordered there. I suppose there is a good reason why it appears at the top of the interface list but, yes, we don't want to be using a non-unique MAC address to generate UUIDs. The question then is: is there any way for the uuid module to recognize and ignore such interfaces other than by the hardcoded MAC address? ---------- stage: -> needs patch title: uuid.uuid1() on macOS doesn't generate unique IDs -> uuid.uuid1() on certain Macs does not generate unique IDs versions: +Python 3.10, Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue41552> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
