[Python-Dev] [slightly OT] cryptographically strong random.SystemRandom()

2021-07-09 Thread Ethan Furman via Python-Dev

Greetings!

A question [1] has arisen about the viability of `random.SystemRandom` in Pythons before and after the secrets module 
was introduced (3.5 I think) -- specifically


does it give independent and uniform discrete distribution for
cryptographic purposes across CPython 3.x versions?

Any help appreciated!

[Python-Dev] Re: SC 2020 recommendation for PEP 634

This seems very odd.  The Steering Council is elected to make decisions, but it feels like the current SC is passing the 
buck.  You (the current SC) have spent much time on this, so it seems that you are in the best position to make a final 
decision.  If you don't, then the next SC may have to also spend a lot of time on the issue as well to be comfortable 
accepting your recommendation -- time that could be better spent on other issues.


If you (the current SC) were actually accepting PEP 634, would the vote be the 
same?  Then accept it, and let's all move on.
