* Small improvements to the recipes and examples. (GH-19635)Raymond Hettinger2020-04-211-30/+26
| | | | | * Add underscores to long numbers to improve readability * Use bigger dataset in the bootstrapping example * Convert single-server queue example to more useful multi-server queue
* bpo-40325: Deprecate set object support in random.sample() (GH-19591)Raymond Hettinger2020-04-191-0/+7
|
* bpo-40282: Allow random.getrandbits(0) (GH-19539)Antoine Pitrou2020-04-171-0/+3
|
* bpo-40286: Add randbytes() method to random.Random (GH-19527)Victor Stinner2020-04-171-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | Add random.randbytes() function and random.Random.randbytes() method to generate random bytes. Modify secrets.token_bytes() to use SystemRandom.randbytes() rather than calling directly os.urandom(). Rename also genrand_int32() to genrand_uint32(), since it returns an unsigned 32-bit integer, not a signed integer. The _random module is now built with Py_BUILD_CORE_MODULE defined.

| | | | | | | | | | | The paragraph above already says, clearly and correctly, that "However, being completely deterministic, it is not suitable for all purposes, and is completely unsuitable for cryptographic purposes." Also we should make any promises about SystemRandom or os.urandom() being cryptographically secure (they may be, but be can't validate that promise). Further, those are actual random number generators not psuedo-random number generators.
