Both unixy /dev/randoms and Microsoft's CryptGenRandom offer an 
API for userland to feed entropy into the system's pool.  It would 
be nice if os.urandom() supported this feature.

Would you like to work on a patch?

No, I don't want to work on a patch for this at this time.  In fact, my
current strategy with regard to random bits doesn't require this
functionality, in general.
