[issue26839] Python 3.5 running in a virtual machine with Linux kernel 3.17+ can block at startup or on importing the random module on getrandom()

[STINNER Victor]

STINNER Victor added the comment:

Since many years, Linux systems store entropy on disk to quickly feed the
entropy pool at startup.

It doesn't create magically entropy on VM where you start with zero entropy
at the first boot.
