Larry Hastings added the comment: I understand. It's just that the manpage for urandom (and in fact the comments in the source code for /dev/random and /dev/urandom) both recommend using /dev/random for these long-lived cryptographic keys. Under normal circumstances I'd simply assume that was correct and I'd follow their advice.
But you're claiming that there are extenuating political circumstances surrounding these statements and they should be ignored. I trust your judgement and I'd be happy to see the secrets module do as you suggest. But you must admit, this is a surprising state of affairs. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27297> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
