Done, although I still humbly suggest telling windows to bugger off ;) > I would do os.read(fd, 100) (or some other large value) rather than > os.read(fd, 6), so that the test doesn't depend on the exact length of the > random sequences produced 100 is no different than 6 (same potential exists); better to just use the length from the parent side access to the PRNG. That leaves open the unlikely scenario of child returning 7 chars, parent 6, and child/parent agreeing on the first 6... which would very likely be a bug anyways. ---------- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file23068/unique-seed-per-process-tempfile.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12856> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
