Nick Coghlan added the comment: Since this issue was opened, a few relevant changes have been made:
* firstly the random.SystemRandom API and subsequently the "secrets" module were added to provide ready access to the operating system's cryptographically secure PRNG. This addresses the "At least one of the new generators should be cryptographically strong" consideration in Raymond's original proposal * secondly, the ensurepip module has been added and various other improvements to Python's 3rd party software distribution infrastructure have been made, lowering the barriers to retrieving alternate modelling and simulation RNGs from PyPI for folks that need or want them Given those changes, would it make sense to close this enhancement proposal as out of date? ---------- nosy: +ncoghlan _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12754> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
