    Hi, I just received this output via email and searches on google hint at needing to run virtualenv within the install directory. We're already running on a production system so I'd like to hear some confirmation before proceeding. Should I worry about this?

    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "/usr/lib/airtime/airtime_virtualenv/bin/pip", line 9, in <module>
        load_entry_point('pip==0.7.2', 'console_scripts', 'pip')()

      File "/usr/lib/python2.6/random.py", line 47, in <module>
        from os import urandom as _urandom
    ImportError: cannot import name urandom 

    I got the same output back to back. Thank you.

    You should run the following commands:

    sudo rm /usr/lib/airtime/airtime_virtualenv/bin/python
    sudo cp /usr/bin/python /usr/lib/airtime/airtime_virtualenv/bin/

    Then restart pypo and media-monitor

    sudo service airtime-media-monitor restart
    sudo service airtime-playout restart (if pre-Airtime 2.2.0 this command will temporarily interrupt playout for 2 seconds)
