Colm Buckley added the comment: The attached patch (against 20160330) addresses the issue for me on Linux; it has not been tested on other platforms. It adds the GRND_NONBLOCK flag to the getrandom() call and sends the appropriate failure return if it returns due to lack of entropy. The enclosing functions fall back to reading from /dev/urandom in this case.
Affected files: Python/random.c - changes to py_getrandom() configure.ac and pyconfig.h.in - look for linux/random.h for inclusion Can this, or something similar, be considered for integration with mainline? ---------- keywords: +patch Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file42837/nonblocking-getrandom.diff _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue26839> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
