The randbytes() method could have been added effortlessly as a one line pure python method.  It only became complicated as a result of premature optimization into C code and as a result of ignoring the API promises.

You really don't have to redesign the whole module.  We have no user complaints.  There is no problem to be fixed.  IMO, this would be unnecessary churn.
