Python random numbers from KMS.GenerateRandom

Spurred by this twitter conversation. random.SystemRandom uses os.urandom as a source of bytes, but doesn't provide a way to use a different source of bytes. So stream_random.py is exactly that. Then kms_random.py has raw and buffered bytestreams pulling from KMS.GenerateRandom.

The main interface is kms_random.get_kms_random(boto3_session, buffer_size=None). The default buffer size is 16, chosen arbitrarily.

I do not vouch for the randomness properties of the results.

People shouldn't use aws s3 ls to check credentials

Here's why, and an SCP to stop them

Lots of people use aws s3 ls to check that they have valid credentials. If it succeeds, they assume they are good to go. Even AWS blog tutorials often use it. They're all wrong.

There's multiple things wrong with using aws s3 ls to check credential validity. The first is that it has an IAM permission, s3:ListAllMyBuckets, associated with it.
