Support of the __index__()
method in getrandbits() and randbytes() is inconsistent.
Random.getrandbits()
supports__index__()
, butSystemRandom.getrandbits()
does not.SystemRandom.randbytes()
supports__index__()
, butRandom.randbytes()
does not.
For consistence, both classes should support it.
sample()
fails if its k
argument is not integer. k
should have __index__()
, but it also should support comparison with integers and multiplication by list and integer. It is easy to make it more general, and only require __index__()
. It will also produce more meaningful error.
binomialvariate()
seems "working" with non-integer n
argument, but the result is questionable. Passing non-integer value is most likely an error, and it would be better to detect it.
