mail/mailman install problem python 2.6 import urandom

[Daniel Nebdal]

That's slightly bizarre - urandom should be in the os module. Just to verify:

mr16613:  > uname -srm
FreeBSD 9.0-STABLE amd64
mr16613: > python2.7 --version
Python 2.7.3
mr16613: > python2.7 -c 'from os import urandom as _urandom ; print
str(_urandom)'
<built-in function urandom>


Out of curiosity, could you try something in python?
Start python2.7 , and enter
import os
dir(os)

That ought to display a long list of things in the os module, including urandom.
