secrets.token_bytes() is already the way to spell "get a string of messed-up bytes", and that's the dead obvious (according to me) place to add the potentially blocking implementation. Indeed, everything in the `secrets` module should block when the OS thinks that's needed. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
