This module is just a convenience import. It exports random.mersenne and random.urandom and defines a global instance of Mersenne twister with alias procedures that use this instance.
Vars
mersenneTwisterInst: MersenneTwister
-
A global instance of Mersenne twister used by the alias functions of this module.
When the module is imported, it is seeded using an array of bytes provided by urandom, or, in case of failure, using the current time.
Due to this silent fallback and the fact that any other code can use this global instance (and there is no thread safety), it is not recommended to use it (through the functions in this module or otherwise) if you have any concerns for security.
