    """ This lookup generate a UUID of the length specified by the term
        Usage:
          set_fact: container_id="{{ lookup('uuid',32) }}"

    """
    def __init__(self, basedir=None, **kwargs):
        self.basedir = basedir

    def run(self, terms, inject=None, **kwargs):
        ret = []
        ret.append(''.join(random.SystemRandom().choice(string.ascii_lowercase + string.digits) for _ in range(terms)))
        return ret
