ESP32 urandom.getrandbits(64) value error

Post by mflmartin » Tue Mar 02, 2021 10:18 pm

On ESP32, if I use urandom.getrandbits(64), I get "ValueError:" without any more info. If I use urandom.getrandbits(32) or lowerf, it works.

Is this a limitation or a bug maybe?

Yes, max value for getrandbits() is 32.
