I'm surprised. Python 3.5.4 does contain my latest fix: commit 035ba5da3e53e45c712b39fe1f6fb743e697c032 (bpo-29157). > Looking at random.c, pyurandom returns -1 instead of falling back to > dev_urandom when py_getrandom returns -1, so the attached fix is simple. Ignoring failures is not a good idea. What is the result of the getrandom() function? > glibc in the environment is 2.25 (supports getrandom), while kernel is 3.10 > (doesn't support getrandom). I expect n < 0 with errno = ENOSYS: py_getrandom() should return 0 in this case, not -1. ---------- nosy: +vstinner _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue32580> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
