+[docs]def generate(length: int = 1) -> str:
+    """Generates a random string of alphanumeric characters of the given length.
+    If no length is specified, a single character is returned.
+
+    On Python 3.5, this string is pseudo-randomly generated using
+    :py:mod:`random`. With 3.6 and later, the randomness is generated with
+    :py:mod:`secrets`, making the randomization cryptographically strong.
+
+    Args:
+        length (:obj:`int`, optional): Desired string length. Defaults to 1.
+
+    Returns:
+        str: A pseudo-random alphanumeric string.
+
+    Examples:
+        >>> print(alphanum.generate())
+        'G'
+        >>> print(alphanum.generate(10))
+        'a93jfDjdA0'
