Regardless of the behavior of os.urandom (and 'import random'), is it agreed that the current state of _PyRandom_Init is acceptable for 3.5.2? The current behavior (as of 9de508dc4837) is that it will never block on Linux, but could still block on other OS if called before /dev/urandom is initialized. We have not determined a satisfactory solution for other operating systems. Note that no other OS have reported a problem 'in the wild', probably because of their extreme rarity in VM/container environments and the lack of Python in their early init sequence.
