Bug Description
UUIDs are widely used across projects in OpenStack.
However, the usage pattern of the uuid module seems to be diverging as projects evolve.
For example, the hex value of a uuid is called as uuid.hex but as str(uuid.hex) in some projects.
Validating a canonical uuid form in Nova is using the uuid.UUID object but Quantum is using regex.
There should be a uuidutils module which lets all projects share functions handling UUIDs.

This sounds like a problem educating developers about the way to use the module in the stdlib as much as anything. Is creating a new wrapper module really necessary?
