Christian Heimes <li...@cheimes.de> added the comment: Not, not by definition. However an uuid generator shall geenerate uuid in a way that make collisions highly improbable. IMHO this verdict implies that an uuid generator should use the cryptographic RNG if available.
The behavior after fork() is clearly a bug as it will generate lots of collisions on systems that fall back to random. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15206> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
