This was a great overview of random generation in Python. The examples in the standard library were great and full featured. I felt like I came away from them with a much deeper understanding of how they work!
that said, I feel like the coverage of secrets and uuid was much more shallow. Enough to get the basics, which is a great foundation. It left me wanting a follow-up that delves into more detail of cryptographicly secure randoms though.
Any chance there’ll be a part 2 covering that?

You have a very soothing voice. Good presentation of most topics and explaining where the functions come from in the various modules. I’ll read the tutorial next to dive more into secrets!
