Nick Coghlan added the comment: PEP 524 has been implemented for 3.6b1 in #27776, so os.urandom() itself will now do the right thing for cryptographic use cases on Linux.
Accordingly, marking this as out of date - with os.urandom() and the secrets module both implicitly doing the right thing, the vagaries of operating system cryptographic RNG access can be left as obscure arcana of interest only to language runtime developers, rather than regular Python users :) ---------- nosy: +ncoghlan resolution: -> out of date stage: needs patch -> resolved status: open -> closed type: -> enhancement _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27293> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
