[issue1727780] 64/32-bit issue when unpickling random.Random

Shawn Ligocki added the comment: I've got a patch! The problem was that the state was being cast from a C-type unsigned long to a long. On 32-bit machines this makes large 32-bit longs negative. On 64-bit machines this preserves the sign of 32-bit values (because they are stored in 64-bit

Shawn Ligocki added the comment: It doesn't seem like the styling is the issue, but the placement. You say that the standard style is to put this at the end of the section, is there somewhere it would be appropriate to bring this up for discussion? I think it would be much more intuiti

New submission from Shawn Ligocki : I did not notice the existence of random.SystemRandom until after I had implemented my own version. I thought it would be nice to mention it in the opening section. I've added a tiny note about random.SystemRandom. What do you guys think, feel free to r

[issue7076] Documentation add note about SystemRandom

Shawn Ligocki added the comment: Oh, urandom is almost always non-deterministic. It mixes completely random bits from hardware sources with its pseudo-random number state. The more random bits it gets from hardware, the less predictable its output is. However, as long as it's getting any r

Shawn Ligocki added the comment: Ah, sorry for the misunderstanding. I agree, better not to mislead. Perhaps we should side with the urandom documentation and say that it is a cryptographically secure random number generator with no accessible state

[issue7076] Documentation add note about SystemRandom

Shawn Ligocki added the comment: A major pro for pseudo-random number generators is that they are deterministic, that is, you can save a load the state, start from the same seed and reproduce results, etc. At least in science (and probably other areas) this reproducibility can be vital in a
