PEP Withdrawal
==============
During discussion of this PEP, Steven D'Aprano proposed the simpler alternative
of offering a standardised ``secrets`` module that provides "one obvious way"
to handle security sensitive tasks like generating default passwords and other
tokens.
Steven's proposal has the desired effect of aligning the easy way to generate
such tokens and the right way to generate them, without introducing any
compatibility risks for the existing ``random`` module API, so this PEP has
been deferred in favour of further work on refining Steven's proposal as
PEP 506.
