tests fail python 3.5

Lots of errors like the following one:

Why does kombu use _* symbols from UUID?

As far as I can tell, Python 3.5.1rc1 no longer has the _uuid_generate_random symbol, although my installation of 3.5.0 does have it.

It looks like this code is a work around from a Python 2.5 bug - as Kombu no longer appears to support Python 2.5, I suggest this work around should be removed.
