* Remove the redundant and poorly worded warning message.Raymond Hettinger2014-05-101-6/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | The paragraph above already says, clearly and correctly, that "However, being completely deterministic, it is not suitable for all purposes, and is completely unsuitable for cryptographic purposes." Also we should make any promises about SystemRandom or os.urandom() being cryptographically secure (they may be, but be can't validate that promise). Further, those are actual random number generators not psuedo-random number generators.
