Return num cryptographically strong pseudo-random bytes. Raises an SSLError if the PRNG has not been seeded with enough data or if the operation is not supported by the current RAND method. RAND_status can be used to check the status of the PRNG and RAND_add can be used to seed the PRNG.
For almost all applications os.urandom is preferable.
Read the Wikipedia article, Cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generator (CSPRNG) < to get the requirements of a cryptographically strong generator.
Return True if the SSL pseudo-random number generator has been seeded with 'enough' randomness, and False otherwise. Use ssl.RAND_add to increase the randomness of the pseudo-random number generator.
Mix the given bytes into the SSL pseudo-random number generator. The parameter entropy (a float) is a lower bound on the entropy contained in string (so you can always use 0.0). See 1750 for mor
