Question

Upgraded Ubuntu to Precise Pangolin (12.04), and Python’s Random is now broken… I suspect other things might be broken too. How do I fix Python?

    File "/usr/lib/python2.7/random.py", line 47, in <module>
    from os import urandom as _urandom
ImportError: cannot import name urandom

Alas, poor Python! I knew him, Random, a module of infinite
jest, of most probable chaos. He hath bore me on his randint() a
thousand times, and now how abhorr’d in my workspace it is!
My Exception Handler rises at it.

Is this your problem?

Seems to be caused by running it in a virtual environment, and there is a work around.

BTW this was the top result in google.
