<p dir="ltr">> Why do you call it only "semi-fixed"? As far as I understand it, the semantics of os.urandom() in 3.5.2rc1 are indistinguishable from reading from /dev/urandom directly, except it may not need to use a file handle.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Which is a contract change. Someone testing in E.g. a chroot could have a different device on /dev/urandom, and now they will need to intercept syscalls for the same effect. Personally I think this is fine, but assuming i see Barry's point correctly, it is indeed but the same as it was.</p>
