Bryce Verdier added the comment: Ramchandra, doesn't the description of os.urandom already imply that it's a low-level interface? Or are you saying that you want this to be explicitly stated?

[issue15936] Add link from os.urandom to random.SystemRandom
New submission from Jacek Bzdak: It would be great if one sentence was added to os.urandom description: For easy to use interface to system randomness please see random.SystemRandom class. The reason for this change is that many references quote only os.urandom as a cryptographically strong randomeness source in python, and for some people it might be not obvious that there already exists such easy to use api to use cryptographically strong randomness (that is random.SystemRandom class). It would be good to point such people to right class. Myself for example spent last hour trying to create makeshift Random subclass that uses os.urandom as it's randomness source. -- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 170423 nosy: Jacek.Bzdak, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Add link from os.urandom to random.SystemRandom type: enhancement versions: Python 2.7 ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue15936 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
