ssl.RAND_add()

ssl.RAND_add(bytes, entropy)

Mix the given bytes into the SSL pseudo-random number generator. The parameter entropy (a float) is a lower bound on the entropy contained in string (so you can always use 0.0). See RFC 1750 for more information on sources of entropy.

Changed in version 3.5: Writable bytes-like object is now accepted.
