Yes, the number of bytes seems to <= 6, or is it?:
os.urandom(6)
b'\xf1\x1c\x15\x83\x14\x0e'
ok
os.urandom(6)
b'l\xbb\xae\xb7\x0ft'
still ok - the l and t at the ends are valid characters so Python
prints the letter
os.urandom(6)
b'\x1f\x00~\xfbz\x98'
Same here with the ~ and z characters
os.urandom(6)
b'\x98\xd2\xb2\xaa\x9bv'
and the (second) a and v
os.urandom(6)
b'2\x07\x81v\n-'
and the 2, v and - Also notice the eol character in there(\n)
Hopefully you get the picture?
Alan, are you using Windows, as I am?
Yes. XP.
website-permitted, but stronger passwords could be generated with
the
use of os.urandom(). At this point, I think not.
You probably could but it would take a lot of work for very little
benefit.
