token_bytes "obviously" should return a bytes, and token_alpha equally obviously should be returning a str. (Or maybe it should return the same type as alphabet, which could be either?) What about the other two? Also, if you ask for 4 bytes from token_hex, do you get 4 hex digits or 8 (four bytes of entropy)? ChrisA
