Just to add for those interested: a possible work around solution is using "os.path.sameopenfile" to check fds against another known fd for urandom. And for those wish to have a bit of fun (and maybe a security consideration): python -c "import os;os.urandom(1);os.closerange(3,256);fd = open('/dev/zero');print(os.urandom(10))" b'\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00'
