As they say, random number generation is too important to be left

There's also one where it's pointed out it's easier to brute force a

I'm making cipher program with random.seed(), random.random() as the
key table of encryption.
I'm not good at security things and don't know much about the
algorithm used by random module.
Is it really random or safe enough to keep my data safe?
