Looking at its source code, it seems the PRNG behind random.random() is Mersenne Twister, but I'm not sure. It also seems that random.random() is using /dev/urandom. Can someone help me to read that source code?
I'm talking about CPython, by the way. I'm reading https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/master/Lib/random.py The initial comment clearly says it's Mersenne Twister, but the only random() function there seems to call _urandom(), which I suppose is an interface to /dev/urandom. What am I missing here? -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
