Looks good on the principle. The API names for MT are a bit ugly. > The RNG should be suitable for cryptography. Sounds like too strong a requirement. For cryptography, we have the ssl module (and third-party libraries). (also, "suitable for cryptography" is somewhat vague; for example, the Linux man pages insist that /dev/urandom is ok for session keys but /dev/random is needed for long-lived private keys) Regards Antoine. _______________________________________________ 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
