BitGenerator(seed=None)

Attributes

lock : threading.Lock

Lock instance that is shared so that the same BitGenerator can be used in multiple Generators without corrupting the state. Code that generates values from a bit generator should hold the bit generator's lock.

Parameters

seed : {None, int, array_like[ints], SeedSequence}, optional

A seed to initialize the BitGenerator . If None, then fresh, unpredictable entropy will be pulled from the OS. If an int or array_like[ints] is passed, then it will be passed to ~`numpy.random.SeedSequence` to derive the initial BitGenerator state. One may also pass in a SeedSequence instance.

Base Class for generic BitGenerators, which provide a stream of random bits based on different algorithms. Must be overridden.

Local connectivity graph

Hover to see nodes names; edges to Self not shown, Caped at 50 nodes.

Using a canvas is more power efficient and can get hundred of nodes ; but does not allow hyperlinks; , arrows or text (beyond on hover)

SVG is more flexible but power hungry; and does not scale well to 50 + nodes.

All aboves nodes referred to, (or are referred from) current nodes; Edges from Self to other have been omitted (or all nodes would be connected to the central node "self" which is not useful). Nodes are colored by the library they belong to, and scaled with the number of references pointing them
