Content
- if (RAND_pseudo_bytes((unsigned char) + if (RAND_bytes((unsigned char) This is not a good idea: RAND_bytes() is blocking, whereas os.urandom() doesn't block on other platforms. os.urandom() is similar to /dev/urandom (non blocking), whereas /dev/random is blocking. With this patch, Python may block at startup if there is not enough entropy.
