+ For easy to use interface to system randomness please see + :class:random.SystemRandom. Is it just my non-native speaker ears, or should there be an “an” before “easy”? There should. And "for system randomness" is hard to follow. I would have written it as For an easy-to-use interface to the random number generator provided by your platform, please see :class:random.SystemRandom. I don't like the phrase "easy-to-use" at all. IMO it can't get any easier than "give my X random bytes". random.SystemRandom is simply a high level interface that is mostly compatible with the random module.
