Convert cryptographic keys to human-readable phrases, or generate random-yet-memorable passphrases
Project description
A Python port of Niceware, for generating random-yet-memorable passwords. Each word provides 16 bits of entropy, so a useful password requires at least 3 words.
Because the wordlist is of exactly size 2^16, Niceware is also useful for converting cryptographic keys and other sequences of random bytes into human-readable phrases. With Niceware, a 128-bit key is equivalent to an 8-word phrase.

Usage
To insall
$ pip install nicewareTo generate an 8-byte passphrase
>>> import niceware
>>> niceware.generate_passphrase(8)
['deathtrap', 'stegosaur', 'nilled', 'nonscheduled']Niceware for Python uses os.urandom for entropy.
