FWIW, the docs for os.urandom() state:

"""Return a string of n random bytes suitable for cryptographic use.

This function returns random bytes from an OS-specific randomness
source. The returned data should be unpredictable enough for
cryptographic applications, though its exact quality depends on the OS
implementation. On a UNIX-like system this will query /dev/urandom, and
on Windows it will use CryptGenRandom.
