objects with a UUID field should accept a string

[chaos@bbn.com]

Setters which request a UUID type should accept either:

1. An object of type uuid.UUID
2. A string which is a valid UUID, which the setter converts to uuid.UUID type on the fly.

Tested this:

• The code:

    slivers[sliver].uuid = uuid.UUID(sinfo['uuid'])
    print "%s (%s)" (slivers[sliver].uuid, type(slivers[sliver].uuid))
  

  yields:

  b72b0a06-beb9-4be2-94ba-cfbd8654ad82 (<class 'uuid.UUID'>)
  

• The code:

    slivers[sliver].uuid = sinfo['uuid']
    print "%s (%s)" % (slivers[sliver].uuid, type(slivers[sliver].uuid))
  

  yields:

  b72b0a06-beb9-4be2-94ba-cfbd8654ad82 (<class 'uuid.UUID'>)
  

So this seems to be fixed, at least for slivers, which is the case i tested before.
