entropy : {None, int, sequence[int]}, optional
The entropy for creating a `SeedSequence`.
spawn_key : {(), sequence[int]}, optional
- A third source of entropy, used internally when calling
- `SeedSequence.spawn`
+ An additional source of entropy based on the position of this
+ `SeedSequence` in the tree of such objects created with the
+ `SeedSequence.spawn` method. Typically, only `SeedSequence.spawn` will
+ set this, and users will not.
pool_size : {int}, optional
Size of the pooled entropy to store. Default is 4 to give a 128-bit
entropy pool. 8 (for 256 bits) is another reasonable choice if working
