In your case, this problem shows up because of an OS misconfiguration : in that case, the behaviour is undefined (not much Python can do about it). Note that since /dev/urandom is used, with a properly configured system, this should never block (contrarily to /dev/random which might block until enough entropy has been gathered). ---------- nosy: +neologix _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10824> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
