This function returns random bytes from an OS-specific randomness source. The |
|
|
|
returned data should be unpredictable enough for cryptographic applications, |
|
|
|
though its exact quality depends on the OS implementation. On a Unix-like |
|
|
|
system this will query /dev/urandom, and on Windows it will use CryptGenRandom. |
|
|
|
If a randomness source is not found, :exc:`NotImplementedError` will be raised. |

system this will query ``/dev/urandom``, and on Windows it will use |

``CryptGenRandom()``. If a randomness source is not found, |
