[issue13704] Random number generator in Python core

[Martin v. Löwis]

Martin v. Löwis <martin at v.loewis.de> added the comment:

I disagree with that approach, basically because I disagree that we need a C implementation of MT. Platforms that don't provide /dev/urandom will just have to be less secure. Using the current time (in milliseconds if available) plus the current pid ought to be good enough as a random seed.
