dockcross: Prevent dockcross from blocking when used with Python subprocess
As explained in [1], when using dockcross from python subprocess, the
interactive mode is disabled and output of "cat /dev/urandom" is block
buffered instead of being line buffered.
Workaround to this problem is to simply read a fixed amount of characters
from urandom.
The following two snippets illustrates the problem and the
the implemented solution:
Works
```python
import subprocess as sp
sp.check_call("var=$(head -c 500 /dev/urandom | base64 | tr -dc 'a-zA-Z0-9' | fold -w 7 | head -n 1); echo $var", shell=True)
```
=> output random string
Fail:
```python
import subprocess as sp
sp.check_call("var=$(cat /dev/urandom | base64 | tr -dc 'a-zA-Z0-9' | fold -w 7 | head -n 1); echo $var", shell=True)
```
