You can generate secure random numbers on AppEngine via os.urandom(n) to get n-bytes suitable for cryptographic use. Try it on shell.appspot.com
This issue http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=1055 has more details, especially comments #1 and #4 from a Googler way back in 2009. It appears the GAE implementation of os.urandom is designed for cryptographic use, though there is absolutely no documentation (apart from the comment thread on the issue). Without knowing the details of the GAE implementation, it is hard to tell if it will suit your needs. saidimu On Mon, Mar 14, 2011 at 6:59 PM, Dave Peck <davep...@gmail.com> wrote: > Can someone on the App Engine team comment on whether Crypto.Random >> will ever be available? >> > Did you try to include your own PyCrypto version? > > > No, because you can't.
