Description

Changeset 4051* introduced "getrandbits"* from the "random" module.

This method is only available in python 2.4.

Django installation docs say django runs on python 2.3+. (Noticed this when a page crashed on a python 2.3 django site I was working on ...)

thanks,

raman

Summary: random.getrandbits only available in python 2.4 → [patch] random.getrandbits only available in python 2.4

socket.getfqdn() can be mightily slow in some cases so I've changed the code so it caches the hostname. If you didn't want to slow startup down any more, it could alternatively be lazily loaded.

(In [4058]) Fixed #3007 -- Fixed Python 2.4-ism from [4051] in django/core/mail.py. Also cached the result of socket.getfqdn(). Thanks for the patch, SmileyChris
