One of the reasons the PEP was done the way it was done was it allowed you to write 2/3 compatible code without version checks. Enhancing that class won't land until 3.5 which is 18+ months away. Further more the os.urandom persistent FD's already exists and is a complete superset of functionality that a random.SystemRandom random would have.

This conversation would have been a lot more useful when the PEP was being discussed on python-dev.
