Thanks! I'd accept this (and I'd reject 504 at the same time). I like the secrets name. I wonder though, should the PEP propose a specific set of functions? (With the understanding that we might add more later.) Hopefully someone on the peps team can commit your PEP in the repo. It's probably going to be PEP 506.

Following on to the discussions about changing the default random number generator, I would like to propose an alternative: adding a secrets module to the standard library.
Attached is a draft PEP. Feedback is requested.
(I'm going to only be intermittently at the keyboard for the next day or so, so my responses may be rather slow.)
