Updating Python in Fedora 24
Hi!
I'm planning to update Python in Fedora 24 from version 3.5.1 to 3.5.2 [0].
It transpired that Python 3.5 made a rather unfortunate change of making
the `os.urandom()` function blocking by default, which is causing
problems during the boot process. [1] This was thankfully reverted in
Python 3.5.2.
After a discussion on #fedora-python, the consensus is to update Python
in F24 rather than backport the specific patches. As a bonus, Python
3.5.2 brings with it a lot of unrelated bugfixes as well [0].
If you have a serious reason against updating Python in F24, speak now
or forever hold your peace.
