PEP 432 specifies a number of large changes to interpreter startup code, including exposing a cleaner C-API. The major changes depend on a number of smaller changes. This patch includes all those smaller changes.
sys.version and the platform module python_build(),
python_branch(), and python_revision() functions now use
git information rather than hg when building from a repo.
Based on original patches by Brett Cannon and Steve Dower.
Issue #27776: The os.urandom() function does now block on Linux 3.17 and newer
until the system urandom entropy pool is initialized to increase the security.
This change is part of the PEP 524.
