Answer 1

uuid is part of the python standard library since python 2.5, so it struck me as odd that it was being imported from c:\users\user\appdata\local\programs\python\python39\lib\site-packages\uuid.py instead of c:\users\user\appdata\local\programs\python\python39\Lib\uuid.py.

I checked and it looks very much like you have (most likely under false assumptions) downloaded and installed uuid through pip which gave you this module, which is a very much outdated package which has long been superseeded by uuid in the standard library of python. It does however shadow the correct uuid and is not compatible with your python version (because it is more than 15 years out of date). You will need to delete it. Try to simply do

pip uninstall uuid

If that fails, manually delete these two items:

c:\users\user\appdata\local\programs\python\python39\lib\site-packages\uuid-1.30.dist-info
c:\users\user\appdata\local\programs\python\python39\lib\site-packages\uuid.py
