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

[Donald Stufft]

Donald Stufft added the comment:

I also agree with Cory :) If CPython needs a non blocking RNG for start up, then it should add a new function that does that, breaking the promise of ``os.urandom`` cryptographically suitable random is not the way to do that.
