getrandom_nonblocking_v4.patch LGTM, but I made a major change: if getrandom() fails with EAGAIN, it now *always* fall back on reading /dev/urandom. I also documented the change in os.urandom() documentation and in Misc/NEWS. I pushed the fix to Python 3.5 and 3.6. Python 2.7 doesn't use getrandom() and so doesn't need the fix. I now consider that the bug is fixed. If you consider that it's important enough to retry calling getrandom() each time os.urandom() is called, please open a new issue with a patch and elaborate your rationale :-) ---------- resolution: -> fixed status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue26839> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
