How to use UUID

I'm not sure why you've created a UUID model. You can add the uuid field directly to the Person model.

class Person(models.Model):    unique_id = models.UUIDField(default=uuid.uuid4, editable=False, unique=True)

Each person should then have a unique id. If you wanted the uuid to be the primary key, you would do:

class Person(models.Model):    id = models.UUIDField(primary_key=True, default=uuid.uuid4, editable=False)

Your current code hasn't added a field to the person. It has created a MyUUIDModel instance when you do MyUUIDModel(), and saved it as a class attribute. It doesn't make sense to do that, the MyUUIDModel will be created each time the models.py loads. If you really wanted to use the MyUUIDModel, you could use a ForeignKey. Then each person would link to a different MyUUIDModel instance.

class Person(models.Model):    ...    unique_id = models.ForeignKey(MyUUIDModel, unique=True)

However, as I said earlier, the easiest approach is to add the UUID field directly to the person.

You can directly add the id field as a UUIDField in the Person model. There is no need for a separate MyUUIDModel.

I think you have confused it with the MyUUIDModel used in the UUIDField example where the id is a UUIDField. You can just use the below code and it will use UUIDs for id.

import uuidfrom django.db import modelsclass Person(models.Model):    ...    id = models.UUIDField(primary_key=True, default=uuid.uuid4, editable=False) 

You need to use the class you created as a subclass when declaring your Person model like this:

import uuidfrom django.db import modelsclass MyUUIDModel(models.Model):  id = models.UUIDField(primary_key=True, default=uuid.uuid4, editable=False)class Person(MyUUIDModel):  ...

This way Person becomes a subclass of MyUUIDModel and will inherit its id field definition.
