[New-bugs-announce] [issue33228] Use Random.choices in tempfile

[Wolfgang Maier]

New submission from Wolfgang Maier <wolfgang.maier at biologie.uni-freiburg.de>:

A rather trivial change: tempfile._RandomNameSequence could make use of
random.Random.choices introduced in 3.6.
IMO, the suggested change would give clearer and also faster code.
It also updates the docstring of the class, which currently talks about
a six-character string, when an eight-character string gets returned.
