twisted.python.randbytes.RandomFactory : API documentation

class documentation

class twisted.python.randbytes.RandomFactory: (source)

Factory providing secureRandom and insecureRandom methods.

You shouldn't have to instantiate this class, use the module level functions instead: it is an implementation detail and could be removed or changed arbitrarily.

Class Variable	randomSources	Undocumented
Method	secureRandom	Return a number of secure random bytes.
Method	insecureRandom	Return a number of non secure random bytes.
Method	_osUrandom	Wrapper around `os.urandom` that cleanly manage its absence.
Method	_randBits	Wrapper around `os.getrandbits`.
Class Variable	_BYTES	Undocumented
Method	_randModule	Wrapper around the `random` module.

randomSources = (source)

Undocumented

(type: tuple)

def _osUrandom(self, nbytes): (source)

Wrapper around os.urandom that cleanly manage its absence.

def secureRandom(self, nbytes, fallback=False): (source)

Return a number of secure random bytes.

Parameters	nbytes	number of bytes to generate. (type: `int`)
	fallback	Whether the function should fallback on non-secure random or not. Default to `False`. (type: `bool`)
Returns	a string of random bytes. (type: `str`)

def _randBits(self, nbytes): (source)

Wrapper around os.getrandbits.

_BYTES = (source)

Undocumented

def _randModule(self, nbytes): (source)

Wrapper around the random module.

def insecureRandom(self, nbytes): (source)

Return a number of non secure random bytes.

Parameters	nbytes	number of bytes to generate. (type: `int`)
Returns	a string of random bytes. (type: `str`)
