I found this same error after upgrading to precise pangolin and
activating my virtualenv. I was able to work around it by creating a
fresh virtualenv which worked as expected, I just had to reinstall all
python libs into the new virtualenv.
Error messages I saw:
When trying to run nosetests:
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/multiprocessing/process.py", line 309, in __init__
self._authkey = AuthenticationString(os.urandom(32))
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'urandom'
When trying to run pip:
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/random.py", line 47, in <module>
from os import urandom as _urandom
ImportError: cannot import name urandom
