for options can now include the string \code{'\%default'}, which will
|
||||
be replaced by the option's default value.

|
||||
\item A new \function{urandom(\var{n})} function
|
||||
was added to the \module{os} module, providing access to
|
||||
platform-specific sources of randomness such as
|
||||
\filename{/dev/urandom} on Linux or the Windows CryptoAPI. The
|
||||
function returns a string containing \var{n} bytes of random data.

\item Another new function: \function{os.path.lexists(\var{path})}
|
||||
returns true if the file specified by \var{path} exists, whether or
|
||||
not it's a symbolic link. This differs from the existing
|
||||
\function{os.path.exists(\var{path})} function, which returns false if
|
||||
\var{path} is a symlink that points to a destination that doesn't exist.

\item A new \function{getsid()} function was added to the
|
||||
\module{posix} module that underlies the \module{os} module.
