STINNER Victor added the comment: random-py35.patch: Patch for the 3.5 branch. My prepared commit message: --- Issue #29157: Prefer getrandom() over getentropy()
Copy and then adapt Python/random.c from default branch. Difference between 3.5 and default branches: * Python 3.5 only uses getrandom() in non-blocking mode: flags=GRND_NONBLOCK * If getrandom() fails with EAGAIN: py_getrandom() immediately fails and remembers that getrandom() doesn't work. * Python 3.5 has no _PyOS_URandomNonblock() function: _PyOS_URandom() works in non-blocking mode on Python 3.5 --- It seems like Python 3.5 is close to a release, I prefer to wait after the release to fix this issue. I don't think that many Linux distributions are affected, since the issue only occurs with glibc 2.24 which is very recent. @Larry: Do you want this change in Python 3.5.3? The change is quite large. ---------- nosy: +larry Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file46181/random-py35.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue29157> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
