Use crypto-secure random module

See original GitHub issue

Feature request

Thesis

I would like to switch from random module to a secure version of random module: secrets. It is available since python3.6 and is cryptographically secure.

It has the same API as regular random, so the switch should be painless.

Reasoning

Having this feature is a good thing. Some users might generate data that is used in real world apps, so we need to take care of them for this usecase.
