<pre>Using the UUID class in the systemd.journal module in Python 3.x causes an
AttributeError. The problem seems to be that the python-systemd wrapper is
using
the undocumented UUID.get_hex() method. This undocumented, private method is
present in Python 2.7, but not in Python 3.x.
The documented way to retrieve the hex string is the UUID.hex attribute:
See: <a href="https://docs.python.org/3/library/uuid.html#uuid.UUID.hex">https://docs.python.org/3/library/uuid.html#uuid.UUID.hex</a>
systemd version: 212
