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

[Alex Gaynor]

Alex Gaynor added the comment:

Repeating what a few other folks have said: the of os.urandom's callers shouldn't have to pay for the hash seed implementation. If Python internally is ok with suboptimal entropy, it should use a different function. Or early-boot Python users should set PYTHONHASHSEED.
