That's true if "truly random" means "evenly distributed". You might have genuine random numbers with some other distribution, for example Gaussian: <URL: https://www.random.org/gaussian-distributions/>. Such sequences of random numbers may well be compressible. Marko -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
