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.
