Message 151031 - Python tracker (original) (raw)

Patch version 4:

• os.urandom() raises again exceptions on failure
• drop support of VMS (which used RAND_pseudo_bytes from OpenSSL): I don't see how to link Python/random.c to libcrypto on VMS, I don't have VMS, and it don't see how it was working because posixmodule.c was neither linked to libcrypto !?
• fix test_dict, test_gdb, test_builtin
• win32_urandom() handles size bigger than INT_MAX using a loop (it may be DWORD max instead?)
• _PyRandom_Init() does nothing it is called twice to fix a _testembed failure (don't change the Unicode secret because Python stores some strings somewhere and never destroy them)
