Donald Stufft added the comment:

Just to be explicit, ``open("/dev/urandom")`` only works on POSIX platforms 
while ``os.usrandom`` should work on any supported platform that has an OS 
level source of randomness. So advocating *for* simply using ``open()`` is 
probably a bad idea unless the target OS is only POSIX.
