Thanks for implementing the change and making uuid4 the default.
It would be convenient for me (and maybe for others), not to have an abrupt change in the exposed functions as I am using the suuid function to generate a string uuid in a few places. It is not such a big deal, but would it be fine to keep the suuid function in the uuid module with a deprecation warning?

[jmmshn]

Yeah that makes sense.

[jmmshn]

BTW does anyone know what the s in suuid stands for?

Thanks @jmmshn.

Is it possible to make ulid an optional dependency and only import it if the user has asked for it in their settings file. The code should also throw an appropriate error explaining which python package is needed to use ulid if it is not installed.

The s in suuid stands for string as we are encoding the UUIDs as strings not bytes.

Thanks @jmmshn

BTW, can we get a release with this, then I can finish the atomate2 PR.

Done (v0.1.17)
