+1 as well. I have a couple of suggestions for improving that implementation: 1. You're currently using os.urandom, which can raise a NotImplementedError. You should be prepared to fall back on a different PRNG... which leads to the 2nd suggestion: 2. random.randrange is a method on a default random.Random instance that, although seeded by urandom (if available), may not be the user's preferred PRNG. I recommend making it possible for the user to supply their own random.Random instance for use by the module. That's all. :) _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
