FileNotFoundError

[izamcc]

sorry I don't know if what I'm saying is ridiculous or stupid.
I'm not even a developer >> just a student trying to get his project done at last minute
but I tried running the exact code but I got this error :

FileNotFoundError: [WinError 3] The system cannot find the path specified: '/dev/random'

environment: VSCode , Win10 , Py3.8.2

for full Error message :

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "xx", line 4, in
shamir.to_base64(shamir.split_secret("this is my secret".encode('ascii'), required_shares, distributed_shares))
File "xx\Python\Python38-32\lib\site-packages\sslib\shamir\shamir.py", line 73, in split_secret
with kwargs.get('randomness_source', randomness.RandomReader() if secret_length <= 65 else randomness.UrandomReader()) as randomness_source:
File "xx\Python\Python38-32\lib\site-packages\sslib\randomness.py", line 15, in enter
if os.stat("/dev/random"):
FileNotFoundError: [WinError 3] The system cannot find the path specified: '/dev/random'

sorry again just trying to help

same issue for me, i've tried to work with this algorithm and most of the libraries online have problems, none of them work

The current implementation does not work with windows, only with Linux.

Why not use https://docs.python.org/3/library/secrets.html#module-secrets ? secrets.token_bytes should provide the best available solution on each context
