Public bug reported:

Description:	Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS
Release:	14.04

python3:
  Installed: 3.4.0-0ubuntu2
  Candidate: 3.4.0-0ubuntu2
  Version table:
 *** 3.4.0-0ubuntu2 0
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Personally I found this to be a problem with pytest-xdist and celery but
it shows up just by using multiprocessing.

After fork a file descriptor is held for /dev/urandom and all calls to
os.urandom() in the child process fail.

Details of the bug are here: http://bugs.python.org/issue18747

I'd like the latest version of python: 3.4.2 to be available in 14.04
LTS either as the default for python3 or available as a specific point
release.

The issue is already fixed in the latest versions of python 3.4, I'm not
sure if it's made it into 3.4.1 or 3.4.2 but if the package is updated
it makes sense for it to be at the latest.

Thank you.
