New submission from Steven D'Aprano: Write some documentation for the ``secrets`` module summarizing the issues relating to /dev/[u]random, getrandom, etc. There's a lot of confusion about these issues, and the web contains a lot of misinformation, so being able to point to the secrets docs for a summary will be useful for further discussions, and to help programmers pick the right solution.
I know the Python docs cannot be the definitive source of information about OS features, but they can provide enough of a summary to allow users to make informed decisions. ---------- assignee: steven.daprano components: Documentation messages: 268206 nosy: christian.heimes, dstufft, haypo, larry, ned.deily, steven.daprano priority: normal severity: normal stage: needs patch status: open title: Summarize issues related to urandom, getrandom etc in secrets documentation versions: Python 3.6 _______________________________________ 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
