[python2] OSError: [Errno 38] Function not implemented

[courk]

I have this issue importing the standard random module after a full system update. A lot of packages were updated (due to openssl 1.1.0).

I have the same problem. Downgrade to python2-2.7.13-1 fix temporarily the problem.

Same problem here with 2.7.13-2. Is there already an open issue?

[ingamedeo]

Same here. I can confirm the issue.

Additional discussion happens here viewtopic.php?f=60&t=11670
But for now the only way to resolve this error is downgrade package to the previous release.
