jaraco at vdm-dev:~$ env/bin/python -c "import os; os.urandom()" Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'urandom' It looks like this a symptom of the move of urandom to os.py to posximodule et al. At first glance, it looks like this specific hunk should be reverted: http://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/a0f43f4481e0#l7.1 so that if you're running with the new stdlib but an old python binary the combination can still have a usable os.urandom
Indeed, I've just tested and verified that this does fix the problem.
Should this be tracked in bugs.python.org?
I've added this option as a comment on bug 14444. The title of that bug is worded such that it could be reasonably resolved either with the backwards-compatibility fix or the release notes addition, the release managers can decide what seems appropriate to them.
