Ok, done in the version 2 of my PEP > and expose any higher level functionality in the secrets module if necessary. I didn't add this point to the PEP. Tell me if it should be added. Which kind of function do you imagine? I wrote an example of a helper function to use os.getrandom() or falls back on os.urandom(): https://haypo-notes.readthedocs.io/pep_random.html#leave-os-urandom-unchanged-add-os-getrandom You may reply on my PEPv2 directly ;-) Victor _______________________________________________ Security-SIG mailing list Security-SIG@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/security-sig
