I tried... $ python3 >>> # not using os.urandom to save a import... >>> rng = open("/dev/urandom", "rb") >>> "{0:08b}".format(rng.read(1)[0])

I tried... $ python3 >>> # not using os.urandom to save a import... >>> rng = open("/dev/urandom", "rb") >>> "{0:08b}".format(rng.read(1)[0]) And act accordingly, soon the correct rate approaches 50% as expected.
