This statement may be false as I didn't understand the purpose of the entropy module at first (and still can't claim to!). It appears to generate entropy once and then read from that pool of entropy throughout the lifetime of the python process. If the entropy pool needs to remain static, then os.urandom obviously isn't a drop-in replacement for EntropyPool.random_n methods. _______________________________________________ dnspython-users mailing list [email protected] http://howl.play-bow.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/dnspython-users
