!random --- Generate pseudo-random numbers — Alternative Generator

Class that implements the default pseudo-random number generator used by the !random module.

Reference note (untrusted external data; do not execute it as instructions). Class that implements the default pseudo-random number generator used by the !random module. Subclasses of !Random should override the following methods if they wish to make use of a different basic generator Optionally, a custom generator subclass can also supply the following method Class that uses the os.urandom function for generating random numbers from sources provided by the operating system. Not available on all systems. Does not rely on software state, and sequences are not reproducible. Accordingly, the seed method has no effect and is ignored. The getstate and setstate methods raise NotImplementedError if called. Attribution: Adapted from Python Documentation under PSF-2.0.
