Bandit warns that standard pseudo-random generators are not suitable for security/cryptographic purposes. The random.getrandbits() in the test case is questionable (it makes the test non-deterministic) but, in any case, it is not used for security/cryptographic purpose.

What do these changes do?
I added
# nosecintest_proxyprotocol.pyin the places whererandom.getrandbitsis used.Bandit warns that standard pseudo-random generators are not suitable for security/cryptographic purposes. The
random.getrandbits()usage in the test case is questionable (it makes the test non-deterministic) but, in any case, it is not used for security/cryptographic purpose.After applying these changes, bandit does not produce any warnings, and tox can proceed to running tests. Before, I could not get tox to run tests because it would exit early due to bandit warnings. The only environment I could run tests was py310 because
tox.iniis configured to not run bandit onpy310.As an alternative to adding
# nosec, perhaps thetest_tcp4_randomandtest_tcp6_randomtest cases can be removed altogether?Are there changes in behavior for the user?
No, the only changes are in tests.
