> If os.urandom() doesn't fail, something else will fail soon after.
the random pool can be exhausted, but this is not "soon after" I think. In Linux and Mac OS X, ulimit -n defaults to 512 and 256.
It's very easy to reach that limit if you write a web app that uses this API.
> I agree with Antoine. Exhausting the FDs is not the problem,
Do you suggest that we should not use os.urandom on high load ?
Opening an FD on every call sounds under optimal, I am not seeing any drawback not to try to optimize that API. |
