STINNER Victor added the comment: Stefan Krah: "I think this is a very good idea. Just a flag for "cryptographically secure" or not."
If you consider it is worth it, please open a new issue. I dislike the idea of a boolean. The quality of each system RNG has been discussed long enough to be able to say that "cryptographically secure" term depends a lot of your use case, and experts disagree between themself :-) You might even have to consider the version of the Linux kernel to decide if /dev/urandom is good enough or not for you use case. The implementation changed last years. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue26839> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
