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

[Stefan Krah]

Stefan Krah added the comment:

It is clear how /dev/urandom works. I just think that securing enough
entropy on startup should be done by the init scripts (if systemd still
allows that :) and not by an application.

[Unless the application is gpg or similar.]
