STINNER Victor added the comment: Nick: "+1 for a fallback in the SIPHash initialisation as well."
Sorry but I don't know a simple function to implement this. We might use the LCG RNG, but it's not really designed to be "secure". I don't think that it makes sense to initialize a shiny SIPHash with a crappy LCG RNG :-) So I skip my turn on this idea and let others implement them if anyone consider that it's worth it. To be clear: Python 3 doesn't start when getrandom() and /dev/urandom are not available or don't work, but it's not something new. Python 3.1 already starts with: fd = open("/dev/urandom", O_RDONLY); if (fd < 0) Py_FatalError("Failed to open /dev/urandom"); -- os.urandom() is now blocking, I close the issue. ---------- resolution: -> fixed status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27776> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
