Manual check to ensure that getrandom() syscall is used on Linux:

$ strace -o trace ./python -c 'import os; os.urandom(16); os.urandom(16)' && grep getrandom trace 
getrandom("...", 24, GRND_NONBLOCK) = 24
getrandom("...", 16, GRND_NONBLOCK) = 16
getrandom("...", 16, GRND_NONBLOCK) = 16

The first read of 24 bytes is to initialize the randomized hash function.
