Simple Passphrases

Very simple package to generate passphrases.

Install

Using pip should work. Something like:

$ pip install git+git://github.com/bpeebles/devrandom.git#egg=devrandom
$ pip install git+git://github.com/bpeebles/simple-passphrase#egg=simple_passphrase

inside of a virtualenv or some such.

Simple Diceware

Included is a diceware script to generate Diceware style passphrases.

This attempts to use my devrandom module, then tries to random.SystemRandom, and then falls back to random if no other source is there. A warning is issued in the latter two cases.

The Diceware site suggest using a physical, dice-based generation method. Since I know I'll never keep my passphrases that secure, I figure I might as well make creation of the phrases as easy as possible so I'd actually use something like it.
