Colm Buckley added the comment: The attached patch (against tip) is a very quick attempt to implement the desired behavior:
* add a "nonblocking" argument to py_getrandom() * dev_urandom_python() sets this to 0, to request blocking operation * dev_urandom_noraise() sets this to 1 to request non-blocking As far as I can tell, dev_urandom_noraise() is only called by _PyRandom_Init() so only the hash secret initialization will be affected. Victor; can you take a look and let me know what you think? This probably needs some comments etc. before pushing. I'm also a little unsure about the rest of the logic in dev_urandom_noraise - it should probably also be modified to not block in the event that urandom is unavailable. ---------- Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file43278/nonblocking_urandom_noraise.patch _______________________________________ 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
