Donald Stufft added the comment: One of the reasons the PEP was done the way it was done was it allowed you to write 2/3 compatible code without version checks. Enhancing that class won't land until 3.5 which is 18+ months away. Further more the os.urandom persistent FD's already exists and is a complete superset of functionality that a random.SystemRandom random would have.
This conversation would have been a lot more useful when the PEP was being discussed on python-dev. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue21305> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
