Larry Hastings added the comment: Wait a minute. If I read the code correctly, currently os.urandom() is implemented strictly using getrandom() *on all platforms*. And if block=false, it... returns an empty buffer? Am I reading that right?
And what does it do on platforms that don't have a getrandom() call? Does os.urandom() literally always raise an exception on OS X or FreeBSD? This is so crazy. Surely I'm misunderstanding the code. What am I missing? ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27266> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
