	Here's a possibly improved version with basic GUID format checking, __eq__ implementation and a more pythonic ip implementation. Hope you like it.		Here's a possibly improved version with basic GUID format checking, __eq__ implementation and a more pythonic ip implementation. Hope you like it.

class GUID:
'''A globally-unique identifier made up of time and ip and 3 random digits: 35 characters wide

A globally unique identifier that combines ip, time, and random bits. Since the
time is listed first, you can sort records by guid. You can also extract the time
and ip if needed.

GUIDs make wonderful database keys. They require no access to the
database (to get the max index number), they are extremely unique, and they sort
automatically by time. GUIDs prevent key clashes when merging
two databases together, combining data, or generating keys in distributed
systems.
