[Python-Dev] Virtualenv not portable from Python 2.7.2 to 2.7.3 (os.urandom missing)

[Jason R. Coombs]

Carl,

I've drafted some notes: http://piratepad.net/PAZ3CEq9CZ

Please feel free to edit them. If you want to chat, I can often be reached
on freenode as 'jaraco' or XMPP at my e-mail address if you want to sprint
on this in real-time.

Does the issue only exist for Python 2.6 and 2.7?

I'm not familiar with the release process. What's the next step?
