Random strings in Python 2.6 (Is this OK?)

Question

I\'ve been trying to find a more pythonic way of generating random string in python that can scale as well. Typically, I see something similar to

\'\'.join(r         


        

Answer 1

Taken from the 1023290 bug report at Python.org:

junk_len = 1024
junk =  (("%%0%dX" % junk_len) % random.getrandbits(junk_len *
8)).decode("hex")

Also, see the issues 923643 and 1023290
