I believe this also needs to be added to a test/example file to ensure no regression |

@sigmavirus24 Something like this? |
| bad = random.randint() | ||
| bad = random.choice() | ||
| if sys.version_info.major >= 3 and sys.version_info.minor >= 6: | ||
| bad = random.choices() |

This code is never actually ran, so there's little reason to have this guard I think?

You've introduced a new functional test by including this line. As a result the tests will fail, because Bandit will flag this line as a vulnerability. You'll want to update test_functional.test_random_module()

Because
random.choices()wasn't explicitly listed in the "don't use this" list, I initially thought it was safer version ofrandom.choice().I realized my mistake and used
secret.choice()eventually, but this PR is to addrandom.choices()to the unsafe list.
