I noticed an article about default rand usage in Go <http://blog.sgmansfield.com/2016/01/the-hidden-dangers-of-default-rand/> from the Go Weekly newsletter and it reminded me about PEP 506 and the secrets module. That's when I noticed that the PEP is still open. What is the current blocker on the PEP?

Hi,

As extensively discussed on Python-Ideas, the secrets module and PEP 506 is (I hope) ready for pronouncement. https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0506/ There is code and tests here: https://bitbucket.org/sdaprano/secrets

or you can run hg clone https://sdaprano@bitbucket.org/sdaprano/secrets The code is written for and tested on Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.1 - 3.4.
