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,

:exc:`NotImplementedError` will be raised.

For an easy-to-use interface to the random number generator
|
||||
provided by your platform, please see :class:`random.SystemRandom`.
