I created this issue to propose PR 19631 (BaseRandom class) which looked like as a good idea to me: simple base class which fix different kind of problems.

But it seems like other people would prefer a complete rewrite from scratch and require a PEP.

I abandonned my BaseRandom PR #19631 and my PR 19700 since there is no clear consensus on these changes. I'm not interested to write a PEP to redesign the module random.

I also close this issue as rejected. If someone wants to enhance the random module, it seems like a PEP is needed: at least, please open a separated issue.

I wrote PR #19797 "Remove C implementation of Random.randbytes()" to address initial Raymond's concern on randbytes() implementation:
