I had a look at the C implementation of getrandbits() and spotted this; https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/64fc105b2d2faaeadd1026d2417b83915af6622f/Modules/_randommodule.c#L487 In my case I was also being hit by randrange(2**32) calling getrandbits(33) just pushing it past using the optimized fast-path for ranges needing <=32 bits. So not only was it calling getrandbits() 2x as many times as necessary, under the hood it was generating 64 random bits each time using a slow path. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue43040> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
