How do I fix "ImportError: cannot import name urandom" when running fabric in virtualenv?

  • 772

End of stack trace:

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

There was a problem importing our SSH library (see traceback above).

Not an issue in 11.10. Problem started after I upgraded to 12.04. How can I fix it?

12.04

    I was able to resolve it by following the suggestion in this comment on this bug report and re-running virtualenv on my virtualenv directory:

    virtualenv /path/to/your/virtualenv
