Larry -

Regardless of the behavior of os.urandom (and 'import random'), is it agreed 
that the current state of _PyRandom_Init is acceptable for 3.5.2?

The current behavior (as of 9de508dc4837) is that it will never block on Linux, 
but could still block on other OS if called before /dev/urandom is initialized. 
We have not determined a satisfactory solution for other operating systems. 
Note that no other OS have reported a problem 'in the wild', probably because 
of their extreme rarity in VM/container environments and the lack of Python in 
their early init sequence.
