>   The python-dnspython package (most specifically, dns/resolver.py at
>   line 25-29) uses /dev/random to get random data. I observed that this
>   blocks on /some/ machines that have Ubuntu 10.04 installed. It does
>   not seem to happen on older versions. This causes the import of
>   dns.entropy to block most of the time (but not always).

>   1. Provide a 1.8.0 package in the main repositories - it seems to have the 
> bug fixed and is a maintenance release according to the homepage
>   2. replace '/dev/random' with '/dev/urandom' in entropy.py, line 25. I 
> tested this solution and it no longer causes the import to block.
