The python code was just a vehicle to demonstrate the Vim functionality and to that end, I think it served its purpose.

Also, wouldn't it be possible to do this somehow using the Python support in Vim? I don't see how to get it to evaluate a Python expression though.

Watching the Vim registers tutorial I noticed your Python script could be reduced so as to be a lot more elegant, this: from uuid import uuid4 print uuid4() Nice videos – I especially love how you’ve made tutorials for advanced users.
