Raymond Hettinger added the comment: Thank you for the submission. I respect what you're trying to do, but disagree that there is any issue here. The docs are clear that System Random uses os.urandom() for creating random numbers, that there is not state, that sequences aren't reproducible, and that seed method has no effect and is ignored. Also, the square brackets on the seed argument is our traditional way of saying that an argument is optional.
Apologies, but I'm going to close this. IMO, the proposed wording is less clear and doesn't really help if someone is already misunderstanding what SystemRandom is all about and is imagining that the "seed" argument has some effect when the seed method is documented as being ignored. ---------- status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue29161> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
