Hello Matthieu, thanks for your input! The core RNG is going to be part of the randomized hashing function patch. The patch will be applied to all Python version from 2.6 to 3.3. Some people may want to applied it to 2.4 and 2.5, too. As the patch is going to affect six to eight Python versions, it should introduce as few new code as possible. Any new code might be a source of new bugs. The Mersenne Twister code is mature and works sufficiently as backup. Any new RNG should go through a PEP process, too. You are welcome to write a PEP and implement an additional RNG for the random module. New developers and new ideas are well received.
