source: /numpy/random/bit_generator.cpython-314-x86_64-linux-gnu.so

Signature

class BitGenerator ( seed = None )

Members

Summary

Base Class for generic BitGenerators, which provide a stream of random bits based on different algorithms. Must be overridden.

Parameters

seed : {None, int, array_like[ints], SeedSequence}, optional: A seed to initialize the BitGenerator. If None, then fresh, unpredictable entropy will be pulled from the OS. If an int or array_like[ints] is passed, then it will be passed to SeedSequence to derive the initial BitGenerator state. One may also pass in a SeedSequence instance. All integer values must be non-negative.

Attributes

lock : threading.Lock: Lock instance that is shared so that the same BitGenerator can be used in multiple Generators without corrupting the state. Code that generates values from a bit generator should hold the bit generator's lock.
