Maybe os.urandom is "more random" than the module random in the sense that 
it is harder to figure out what comes next, but still deterministic. The 
readings from the hardware are random and you usually don't know them, yet 
what comes out of urandom is determined by what urandom reads from the 
hardware and its state. I just want to warn not to drop wrong terms.
