--- Comment #3 from Ed Maste <emaste at freebsd.org> ---
It is fixed in python 3.4.2 - see test result below. Looks like the fix[1] is
not in 2.x though. The fix is PEP 446 - issue 18571[2]

LLDB people do not see this issue on Linux; I do not yet know if they're using
Python 3 or if there's some other difference.

Also os.urandom() is sufficient to demonstrate the problem:

Python 2.7.9 (default, Jan  8 2015, 21:47:19) 
[GCC 4.2.1 Compatible FreeBSD Clang 3.3 (tags/RELEASE_33/final 183502)] on
freebsd10
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import os
>>> os.urandom(1)
'8'
>>> os.system("./a.out")
File descriptor 3 is open.
512
