-- Here is a patch to use the new getrandom() syscall of Linux 3.17 in the Python function os.urandom(). The function falls back to reading /dev/urandom if getrandom() is not supported (returns ENOSYS at runtime). On my Linux 3.18, the EINTR path is never taken. But I was able to test it manually by setting flags to GRND_RANDOM (2) and injecting many signals using signal.setitimer(): see my http://bugs.python.org/issue23285#msg237100 ---------- keywords: +patch Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file38310/random.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue22181> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
