STINNER Victor <victor.stinner at haypocalc.com> added the comment:
Patch version 6:
- remove a debug code in dev_urandom() (did always raise an exception for testing)
- dev_urandom() raises an exception if open() fails
- os.urandom() uses again the right exception type and message (instead of a generic exception)
- os.urandom() is not more linked to PYTHONHASHSEED
- replace uint32_t by unsigned int in lcg_urandom() because Visual Studio 8 doesn't provide this type. "unsigned __int32" is available but I prefer to use a more common type. 32 or 64-bit types are supposed to generate the same sequence number (I didn't test).
- fix more tests
- regrtest.py restarts the process with PYTHONHASHSEED=randomseed if -r --randomseed=SEED is used
- fix compilation on Windows (add random.c to the Visual Studio project file)
