Python converting UUID's from string -

i have text file includes uuids this:

a4ab4cd2-016b-411e-8ba1-0000c592bf17

when seek , parse/print file python, (but not all) end looking this:

12:40:54:457

there 3 chunks per line i'm parsing, double, date, , uuid. first 2 parts work fine. relevant lines of code are:

for line in filelines: parts = line.split() # parse first 2 chunks outputfile.write(""" tableid = '""" + uuid.uuid(parts[2]) + """'""")

this fails because uuids of form 12:40:54:547, don't know sub-type of uuid called, allow lone how appropriately parse it. goal read in uuid is, , re-print text around can run sql script.

i'm running python 3.3.2

a total line of input looks this:

339.00 2013-06-18 12:40:54.457 a4ab4cd2-016b-411e-8ba1-0000c592bf17

if uuid lastly in line, access [-1]

outputfile.write(""" tableid = '""" + uuid.uuid(parts[-1]) + """'""")

in illustration give parts[2] homecoming time. if lines consistent, can utilize parts[2], if info uuid varies, pick lastly element after split

python python-3.x uuid
