Thanks. Here is some discussion of the reseeding strategy: http://marc.info/?l=openssl-dev&m=130432419329454&w=2 More precisely, instead of reseeding in the child, you can simply perturb the PRNG with a constant in the parent, to make sure the same PRNG state doesn't get re-used. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18747> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
