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

[Martin Panter]

Martin Panter added the comment:

Maybe an alternative would be to add a special PYTHONHASHSEED=best-effort (or whatever) value that says if there is no entropy available, use a predictable hash seed. That would force whoever starts the Python process to be aware of the problem.
