generate cryptographically secure passwords in Python, and report the bits of entropy for a given length password based on the CHOICES you allow for random selection. random.SystemRandom() uses /dev/urandom on a *nix operating system, which should be cryptographically secure. There are some potential caveats / things I haven't explored fully, bu…

Scala for Python Programmers, examples

	/*
	Notes:

	Despite Scala's appearances, it is, in fact, a Statically Typed language.
	It has just eliminated a great deal of the "type vomit" people are used
	to seeing in Statically Typed languages (e.g. C, C++, Java). It often
	can infer the type on its own. It also combines functional and
	object-oriented programming paradigms in a fashion that feels similar
	to Python.
