Tim Peters added the comment: It was a primary purpose of `secrets` to be a place where security best practices could be implemented, and changed over time, with no concern about backward compatibility for people who don't use it.
So if `secrets` needs to supply a class with all the methods of random.Random, it should derive its own subclass (or derive from random.SystemRandom, and override the only two methods that explicitly invoke _urandom() - everything else ends up using .random() or .getrandbits()). ---------- nosy: +tim.peters _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27288> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
