PowerShell:
Fatal Python error: Failed to initialize Windows random API (CryptoGen)
It seems related to python issue:
"""
On Windows, if Python is started with an empty environment (no

Failed to initialize Windows random API (CryptoGen)"
"""

Next step: reproduce bug in windows env (may need to copy Valclav's PowerShell / Python config)
