RandonautEntroPy

This project provides tools for interacting with the Randonautica Quantum and Temporal entropy generators. It provides a Python API, and a rndo command-line tool.

Installation

$ pip install randonautentropy

---

Python API

The randonautentropy Python module contains low-level get functions.

>>> from randonautentropy import rndo
>>> from randonautentropy import temporal

>>> rndo.get(length=10, type='hex16')

e5b779d67eda68636cb9

>>> temporal.get(length=10, channel=0)

Extended Functionality

The rndo.get function can also retrieve a single 32bit random number in different formats:

>>> rndo.get(type='int32')

-968449906

>>> rndo.get(type='uniform')

0.9251141917698646

>>> rndo.get(type='normal')

0.8924809489412333

>>> rndo.get(type='base64')

JA==

The temporal.get method can switch from the default high quality entropy mode to a faster but slightly lower entropy mode by switching its channel to 1.

>>> temporal.get(channel=1)

Command Line Interface

The package also comes with a rndo CLI:

usage: rndo [-h] [--rndo] [--temporal] [bytes]

A tool for printing random data from the Randonautica Quantum Random Number Generators

positional arguments:
  bytes           amount of hexadecimal bytes

options:
  -h, --help      show this help message and exit
  --rndo, -r      Hexadecimal QRNG entropy
  --temporal, -t  Hexadecimal Temporal entropy

Example:

$ rndo -r 100

$ rndo -t 100
