Why locking? /dev/urandom is a pseudo char device. You can have multiple readers on the same fd without any locking. Did you know that Java keeps one persistent fd to /dev/urandom? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18756> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
