Mock os.register_at_fork() when importing the random module, since
this function doesn't allow to unregister callbacks and so leaked
memory.

Oh, os.register_at_fork() doesn't exist on Windows, so tests failed on Windows. I fixed the test using:

mock.patch('os.register_at_fork', create=True)

If that's all it takes to suppress the reference leak, then +1 from me. And thanks Victor for fixing this!

Yes, it fixes the reference leak. I prefer to just mock register_at_fork() instead of writing a new module to make sure that we still test the import machinery ;-)

Note: PR merged at the beach on my phone in front of the beach ;-) Thank you Brett for the new workflow! 😀
