Just FYI, there's a long discussion going on right now on python-ideas
mailing list about the standard random number generator in python, and
whether it would be a better idea to have cryptographically secure
random number generation by default. I'm mentioning it here since
there's likely people in this community who have interesting things to
say about cryptographically secure random numbers. Apparently Theo de
Raadt (OpenBSD founder) emailed Guido about it, which started the
discussion.
You can see the discussion at
https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-ideas/2015-September/thread.html,
for example, with subject lines like "Python's Source of Randomness
and the random.py module Redux" and "Should our default random number
generator be secure?"
Thanks,
Jason
