If you want to generate a new UUID you can either use the 'uuidgen' 
command or the enclose (simple)
script which will generate a new UUID and MAC you can use when 
copying/cloning a guest.
Hth,

#!/usr/bin/env python
#  -*- mode: python; -*-

print ""
print "New UUID:"
import virtinst.util ; print 
virtinst.util.uuidToString(virtinst.util.randomUUID())
print "New MAC:"
import virtinst.util ; print virtinst.util.randomMAC()
print ""
