Very wise suggestion indeed.  We have all kinds of stdlib modules backported
and released as third party packages.  Why not secrets too?  If such were on
PyPI, I'd happily package it up for the Debian ecosystem.  Problem solved
<wink>.

But I'm *really* going to try to disengage from this discussion until Nick's
PEP is posted.

Cheers,
