[New-bugs-announce] [issue18811] add ssl-based generator to random module

[Charles-François Natali]

New submission from Charles-François Natali:

Now that the ssl module exposes RAND_bytes() (issue #12049), it might be interesting to implement a SSLRandom generator to the random module, to have a cryptographically strong generator without the os.urandom() overhead.

Thoughts?
