HAVE_GETRANDOM_SYSCALL seems to be a compile-time library check, not a runtime check. I compiled and run on Linux 3.15.5, and os.getrandom() exists but raises ENOSYS: ====================================================================== ERROR: test_getrandom0 (test.test_os.GetRandomTests) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Traceback (most recent call last): File "/media/disk/home/proj/python/cpython/Lib/test/test_os.py", line 1280, in test_getrandom0 empty = os.getrandom(0) OSError: [Errno 38] Function not implemented
