Serhiy Storchaka added the comment: $ ./python -m timeit -s 'from os import urandom' 'urandom(1000000)' 10 loops, best of 3: 132 msec per loop $ ./python -m timeit -s 'from random import getrandbits' 'n = 1000000; getrandbits(n*8).to_bytes(n, "little")' 100 loops, best of 3: 14.1 msec per loop
With the purposed method this can be up to 3.4 times faster, but as I said in issue27072, I don't think API growing is worth the benefit. ---------- assignee: -> rhettinger nosy: +serhiy.storchaka _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27096> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
