New submission from Antoine Pitrou <solip...@pitrou.net>:
When creating variable-sized random binary strings with random.getrandbits(), you currently have to special case when the number of bytes is 0, because otherwise getrandbits() raises: ValueError: number of bits must be greater than zero It seems like it wouldn't hurt to simply return 0 in that case. The actual snippet looks something like: random.getrandombits(nbytes * 8).to_bytes(nbytes, 'little') ---------- messages: 366392 nosy: mark.dickinson, pitrou, rhettinger, steven.daprano priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: random.getrandbits(0) should succeed type: enhancement versions: Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue40282> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
