WinRandom for Python

This module gives direct access to Windows Cryptographic API CryptGetRandom() function. The range() function uses B.5.1.1 Simple Discard Method from NIST SP800-90 with FIPS 140-2 p. 44 Continuous random number generator test. Example of winrandom usage:

>>> import winrandom >>> print winrandom.long() 2141228967 >>> print repr(winrandom.bytes(10)) '\xe6C\xfe\xbeRA\xfck"f' >>> print winrandom.range(1000) 123

If you are looking for a ctypes based implementation, have a look at Gregory Taylor's winrandom-ctypes. Advantages are obvious - no need to compile anything, ctypes module is included in Python starting from 2.5.
