What is the standard method for generating a nonce in Python?

Question

Can someone share the best practices for creating a nonce for an OAuth request in Python?

Answer 1

Here's what rauth does. There's not really hard and fast rules here. The spec doesn't seem too opinionated. Your constraints are that the value, being a nonce, should be unique. Other than that, assuming the provider doesn't complain, you can use whatever method you like.
