> I suggest just random.bytes(n), the same as numpy.
The problem with this is that people who `from random import *` (some schools insist on this, probably because most functions they need already start with `rand`) will shadow builtin `bytes`. Not that those schools do anything with `bytes`, but still, it might be inconvenient.
(The metaproblem is of course that some functions already do the "poor man's namespacing" in C-style by starting with `rand`, and some don't. I'm always for user control of namespacing, but I'm just saying that it doesn't correspond to how many beginners use `random` module.) |
