Is python's random number generation easily reproducible?

Question

I was reading about python\'s random module in standard library. It amazes me that when I set the seed and produce a few random numbers:

random.seed(1)
for i         


        

Answer 1

The Python documentation has this to say:

Warning The pseudo-random generators of this module should not be used for security purposes. Use os.urandom() or SystemRandom if you require a cryptographically secure pseudo-random number generator.

So, using it for CAPTCHA is not likely to be a good idea.
