STINNER Victor <victor.stin...@gmail.com> added the comment: - if (RAND_pseudo_bytes((unsigned char*) + if (RAND_bytes((unsigned char*)
This is not a good idea: RAND_bytes() is blocking, whereas os.urandom() doesn't block on other platforms. os.urandom() is similar to /dev/urandom (non blocking), whereas /dev/random is blocking. With this patch, Python may block at startup if there is not enough entropy. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9123> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
