> Larry, I'm sorry but I think you're just flat wrong here and I don't know what else to say about it.

Yeah, I think maybe asking Guido to make a ruling would be the right thing here.  Again, I cite #25003: he implicitly ruled there that it's not permissible for os.urandom() to block on Solaris, so I think he agrees with me.  But if he made a ruling naturally I'd acquiesce to it regardless of what he decided.
